The short version
Planzer.io and TickTick in 30 seconds
Built for your workday
Planzer.io connects to the tools your work lives in — Jira, Linear, Asana, ClickUp, Notion and more. TickTick relies on Zapier or IFTTT for most of these.
A plan, not just a list
Plan my day, “Plan it for me” auto-scheduling and a shutdown ritual turn your tasks into a realistic day.
TickTick costs less
To be fair: TickTick Premium is about $4.17/month billed yearly. Planzer.io Pro is $8/month — both have a free plan.
