Todoist's terms trade flexibility for control

Todoist is a task management and productivity app. You'll organize your work, but the terms lock you into their system and strip away legal protections.

What we found:

🔴 No jury, no class action. Disputes go to arbitration. You can't sue them in court or join a class action lawsuit against them.

🔴 Fees don't come back. Payments are non-refundable except where the law forces a refund. Prices change whenever they want, as long as they tell you first.

🔴 Subscriptions renew automatically. Charges keep hitting your card until you cancel. You have to cancel before the renewal date or you pay again.

🟡 Your passwords are your problem. If your account gets compromised, that's on you. You have to tell them right away if something goes wrong.

🟢 Age and accuracy check. You need to be 13+. Your registration info needs to be real and stay up to date.

The bottom line: Todoist works as a productivity tool, but the contract favors them heavily. Automatic billing and non-refundable fees mean you need to stay on top of your subscription. The arbitration clause kills your ability to sue.
