Louryx vs Todoist for personal planning
Todoist is one of the best pure task managers: fast capture, powerful filters and apps everywhere, with a free plan. Louryx is a planner for your whole life: tasks plus habits with flexible streaks, goals broken into steps and a private journal, for a one-time price. If you mainly need a to-do list, Todoist is excellent; if you want your habits, goals and reflection in the same place, consider Louryx.

Price over three years
Todoist's free Beginner plan is genuinely useful, with a limit of 5 personal projects. On its pricing page (checked October 21, 2026), Pro is $60 a year billed yearly, so $180 over three years. Louryx is $29 once (founder price, regular $49) after a 7-day trial and has no free plan.
Where Todoist is the better choice
- You want a free plan for the long term.
- You manage many projects, or share work with others.
- You need native apps on every device, including a watch and browser extensions.
- You rely on advanced filters, labels and integrations.
Where Louryx is different
- Habits, goals and a journal sit next to your tasks, so your weekly review sees all of them together.
- Missed tasks don't turn red: they wait under “From earlier”, where one tap moves them to today or spreads them over lighter days.
- An energy check-in and calm focus show one next step at a time.
- You pay once instead of every year.
Louryx's limits
- Louryx is a web app that installs to your phone's Home Screen. There's no App Store or Google Play app yet.
- It's built for one person's life. There are no shared projects, team workspaces or task assignment.
- There's no free plan after the 7-day trial: your plans stay saved and you can still view them and check things off, but adding or changing anything needs lifetime access.
- It's a young product, so it has fewer integrations than long-established apps.
Switching from Todoist
Louryx can import your Todoist export: tasks with their dates, priorities and repeats where they match exactly, and anything it can't read exactly is flagged for you to check. Your file is read on your device.
Who should pick which
Pick Todoist if tasks are the heart of your system, you want a free plan, or you work with others. Pick Louryx if you want one calm place for your day, habits, goals and journal, and prefer paying once.
Questions
Does Todoist have a habit tracker?
Todoist doesn't have a separate habits section. You can track habits as recurring tasks, and a Habit Tracker extension records streaks on the web and desktop apps.
Can I move my Todoist tasks to Louryx?
Yes. Export from Todoist and import the file in Louryx; you review everything before it's added, and one Undo removes the whole import.
