An honest comparison
4planner vs. TickTick
Choose 4planner for a deliberate four-quadrant workflow, recurring tasks, habits, and lifetime pricing. Choose TickTick for a broader task manager with reminders and focus tools.
01
Different definitions of productivity
TickTick combines tasks, reminders, calendars, habits, and focus tools. 4planner now covers recurring work and habits too, but keeps them inside one opinionated planning system: every task still begins with importance and urgency, and the four answers—do, schedule, delegate, eliminate—shape the interface.

Who should choose each?
Choose 4planner if you want recurring tasks and habits inside a stronger Eisenhower planning method, connected schedule/delegate actions, and no recurring subscription.
Choose TickTick if reminders, a focus timer, integrations, and a broad all-in-one 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.
