Google Tasks is much more lightweight and better for personal task management, which other software like ClickUp is too overbearing and clunky for. However, software like ClickUp is far better for managing tasks for multiple team members.

We switched from Google Tasks to Todoist as we like the layout and the functions more, even though we still use all the other Google programs. Nothing particularly bad but we enjoy Todoist more for our purposes. Google Tasks is even more simple to use than Todoist and has …
Chose Google Tasks
I will give a edge to Google task as being more compatible and easy because of free tool with reupdated image in the market. The Microsoft planner will come with little cost. Google task will help you to create multiple lists, change the order of tasks and sort your to-do-lists.
Chose Google Tasks
It's better than Keep notes in some areas but worse in others. Mostly just this: you can search. It's very simple but that keeps you from getting bogged down in setting up the app, or procrastinating further by messing around with your to do list app. It has all the features …
Chose Google Tasks
Google Tasks offers more powerful features that simplifies our day to day planning activities. Its seamless integration with G-Suite to enhance task management is uniquely great for us.
Chose Google Tasks
Google Tasks is not necessarily better than its competitors and certainly not as robust or complex as most to-do applications and platforms available in the market, but because it is automatically integrated into G Suite services--our primary technology interface--this free …

Saving time and energy when it comes to be[ing] organized is one of the most important things to me when reviewing my work day. I like to start each day with what needs to be completed and what is the most time sensitive, and then I rank them by importance and time sensitivity. …
Chose Google Tasks
Initially I used Google Tasks because it was included in my Google Workspace subscription, and I thought it would be convenient to have a first-party solution that is tightly integrated with both Gmail and Google Calendar. However, I quickly wanted more robust features with …
Chose Google Tasks
Tasks is an extremely slimmed-down version of something like Teamwork. The similarities stop at having checkboxes and deadlines. The benefit of tasks is it's included in your normal Google subscription at no additional cost. With that comes way less functionality, but that's …
Chose Google Tasks
Almost all of the to-do apps try to have a "must have" feature that will draw users to it. For some it is the graphical interface and some had a unique feature that lasted a few months before competition caught on.
For us, too much complexity is actually a bad thing and Google …
Chose Google Tasks
Google Tasks is especially useful if you're already using Google's other suite of products!
Chose Google Tasks
Google Tasks stand a little below the Microsoft To Do app, but stands well in terms of simplicity.

Here are the strong points of Google Tasks-
Chose Google Tasks
Microsoft To Do is also a nice reminder program if Outlook is the primary mail manager and calendar system; however, it is not as user-friendly in my opinion. For example, I have had a to-do task listed for over a year because I cannot figure out how to remove it.
Chose Google Tasks
Google Tasks is simple and free, as long as you have a Google account. But it is very barebones too, and works best if you are looking for something simple on your phone with a desktop component.
TimeCamp
Chose TimeCamp
Ultimately I selected Clockify instead of TimeCamp. As previously mentioned, I believe that TimeCamp wasn't that intuitive, and too many things were behind pay walls. Clockify offered the same features mostly for free. Although TimeCamps UX was sleeker than Clockify's I found …
Chose TimeCamp
TimeCamp provides a virtuous customer service system with various collaboration possibilities; its architecture is critical for interaction with project management, accounting, sales and marketing, and CRM.
Chose TimeCamp
We evaluated these other products and decided TimeCamp was much more user-friendly. Being able to have a more user-friendly platform was mission-critical for us. The other products are equally as wonderful, but TimeCamp made the most amount of sense for us at the time. It has …

Chose TimeCamp
At the time, TimeCamp had the best features for free time tracking. Its features have only improved over time so I have not looked elsewhere.

I am a satisfied user of TimeCamp due to many reasons including its advanced kind of performance. TimeCamp also offers an attendance module that fully automates employee presence as well as absence management which for me is quite beneficial and has made my life simpler. It is …
Chose TimeCamp
I had to use Teamwork Projects for tracking time previously but it lacks some important features. However, TimeCamp is well-designed software. This helps to understand things easily, clear tracking resulting in managing time properly. It is easy to use, easy to set up which …
Chose TimeCamp
Our journey to finding TimeCamp did not lead us to any competitors. When I first started my SEO company I was tracking everything by hand and that worked fine until I started building a team. I was already using Trello and preferred not to change so we began by looking at add …
Chose TimeCamp
I explored Toggl, and my financial software Harpoon (which I love) also provides time tracking. But, I've yet to have a strong reason to leave TimeCamp, and the alternatives I researched before choosing it were not as good. In a moment when I thought about switching, the value …

I used and checked a few kinds of software like TimeCamp, yet I could not get productivity as much as what TimeCamp gave me and my organization. When we used other software we had always been faced with different kinds of problems like update problems, invoice problems, and …
Chose TimeCamp
I used 2 kinds of software before using Timecamp but what I saw on Timecamp is that it is easy to use and not expensive like other programs. Also,Timecamp does not pressure us to get our money since payment methods are specific and on time.
Chose TimeCamp
Firstly Timecamp is working with different other software like Podio and Trello and these tools are also useful. It took a long time to find an application for tracking and prioritizing time, and when we decided to purchase Timecamp, we did not have any regrets. It takes a …

As I mentioned before, time is the most necessary thing and you have to use it more wisely, if you don't you will be lost in deadlines. That's why I choose Timecamp and bring it to my company. Timecamp is kinda most important program that every company must have it for their …
Chose TimeCamp
TimeCamp has the absolute smallest impact on my PC's performance and that's a huge plus. I never even realize it's running. The "widget" is barely noticeable and is the least intrusive one that maintains a visible presence. Some apps, like ActivTrak have no visible indicator at …

Google TasksTimeCamp
Likelihood to Recommend
Great to take quick notes during meetings. Along with being a good planner app, it offers a clean list of tasks from bottom left which looks great. It is also useful when using Google Calendar. I am a list person so I rely on this app. It is quick and easy to use and I never have to worry about losing a paper list.

Pros
  • The best part, Google Tasks is FREE. No paywall, no ads. Just pure productivity. I was looking for some task-management app which is free, since it was difficult to get a paid one. I found that this was the perfect solution for me.
  • It's deeply integrated with other Google services like Gmail and Calendar. It can pick tasks with Gmail from emails, in the form of suggestions. It's up to you, completely. The tasks will appear in your calendar automatically, if it's time or date specific.
  • It's simple and hassle free to insert tasks and complete them. The app loads fast and hardly faces any crash. I encountered no such crashes.
  • It is present in multiple platforms. I would create a task in my phone, and would check it off on my laptop.
  • It's hassle free to add and check off tasks. It was very helpful for me in college.

  • Easy time tracking with the Windows desktop app.
  • Time tracking management for editing and adding entries manually.
  • In-depth reporting with unlimited view possibilities.
  • iPhone app for tracking and viewing time entries.
  • Allows for computer activity tracking. Is helpful for fixing time entries, when I've incorrectly assigned my time.

Cons
  • Limited in scope and customization
  • Not really a great stand-alone app for use with ioS so lack of integration with iphone makes it clunky and not very often used when not as desktop
  • Support and helpdesk very limited like many of Google products

  • TimeCamp is a little bit expensive. It needs overall improvement in all tools. Moreover, the mobile version is not as useful as the web version of TimeCamp.
  • Other than that, customer service needs more attention and requires more improvement.
  • Also, I feel like that if there are more features of TimeCamp then it would be better.

Usability
Google is simple to use and easy to understand. Having a one-click to add tasks via Google Calendar is a must for any busy business that manages multiple accounts and/or projects. Compliance and business standards are at the forefront, with notification reminders so you don't forget any of those annual certifications, for example.

Support Rating
Since the app is free, we can't expect to get a great support. 1. The app does not even have a dedicated forum where other members can help each other. 2. The app only has a feedback option, which I rarely think visits the team. 3. Even after sending many feedbacks, you can't expect a reply. 4. In a nutshell, if you face any problem, you can just wait. Nothing more than that.

I am giving support a rating of 8 but that is quite arbitrary. Honestly, we have never had the need to contact support for any reason. There has not been a situation where we became stuck and could not figure out how to work through it. Sign up was easy and billing is like clockwork so there has been no need to contact billing support. I think this is a testament to the ease of use of TimeCamp.

Return on Investment
  • It has made me more productive. Now, I can complete twice the [amount of] tasks I used to do when I was not a user of this app.
  • I remember much more about smaller tasks lying around than before. Smaller tasks may have a larger impact, so they can't be neglected.
  • It has a great impact on my mood as well. Now, I feel 50% more happy and motivated at the end of the day, looking at my completed to-do list.
  • The app pays off in the long run. It's definitely has a very high ROI score, based upon my experience.

  • The most positive impact it has had is that we are able to accurately track our clients billed time. This has streamlined our process giving us a more efficient system.
  • One thing that timecamp can do is track computer time that is non billed time. This allow us to see where time is being wasted which does have a direct effect on out ROI.
