An honest comparison
4planner vs. TickTick
Choose 4planner for a deliberate four-quadrant workflow and lifetime pricing. Choose TickTick for a lower-cost, feature-rich task manager with reminders, habits, and mature recurring tasks.
01
Different definitions of productivity
TickTick combines tasks, reminders, calendars, habits, and focus tools. 4planner intentionally narrows the experience around one question: what should happen to this task based on importance and urgency? Its four answers—do, schedule, delegate, eliminate—shape the interface.

Who should choose each?
Choose 4planner if you want fewer features with a stronger planning opinion, connected schedule/delegate actions, and no recurring subscription.
Choose TickTick if reminders, habits, recurring work, and a broad feature set matter more than an enforced matrix method. TickTick currently lists Premium at $35.99 annually; verify current details on TickTick's upgrade page.
