01 · Fairness

First, where Microsoft To Do shines

Microsoft To Do knows the personal to-do list well: it syncs with your Microsoft account and Outlook, “My Day” keeps daily focus simple, and steps and reminders are enough for personal order. Within what it claims to do, it works cleanly.

Where Microsoft To Do is strong

Full integration with your Microsoft account and Outlook
“My Day” for focusing on today’s tasks
Simplicity that needs no training at all

What the official sources tell us

Microsoft introduced To Do as the successor to Wunderlist: a simple personal to-do list, integrated with Outlook.
The official guide focuses on “My Day”, steps and reminders — all tools for personal order.
For teamwork, Microsoft itself points you to Planner and other tools; To Do isn’t meant to be a team tool.

03 · Verdict

The straight verdict on this comparison

For a personal list next to Outlook, To Do makes sense. But where several people have to move a project forward, a personal list falls short; Taskie is built exactly for that: projects, roles and reports, all in your team’s language.

Choose Taskie if…

Your work has become teamwork and a personal list no longer cuts it
You want projects, roles and reports in one workspace, in your own language
Work files and docs need to stay with the task itself
Your manager needs to see the status of work without asking

Choose Microsoft To Do if…

You only want a personal to-do list and you live in the Microsoft ecosystem
Most of your tasks come from email and Outlook
Absolute simplicity matters more to you than any feature
Personal daily planning is your only need

04 · Deep dive

Beyond the table: Taskie and Microsoft To Do in practice

A work management tool isn’t judged on day one; it proves itself over weeks of real use.

01 The product’s boundary

Even Microsoft doesn’t see To Do as a team tool

Let’s take it from the maker itself: for teamwork, Microsoft recommends Planner and its other tools and keeps To Do for personal order. So the right question isn’t what To Do lacks; it is what your team tool is.

To Do is the right product in its own place
Teamwork needs a shared space with roles and statuses
Taskie offers that shared space, in your team’s language

02 From email to execution

Work that arrives by email needs an assignee

A lot of work arrives through email and meetings and gets buried in one person’s personal list; the rest of the team never hears about it. In Taskie, that same task goes into the project, gets an assignee and a due date, and following it up no longer depends on one person’s memory.

The task is logged in the project, not in a private list
Assignee and due date are clear from the moment it is logged
Follow-ups stay in that task’s conversation

03 Team visibility

Separate lists don’t add up to a picture of the team

When everyone has their own list, nobody knows where the team’s work stands as a whole. Taskie’s dashboard brings all the tasks into one picture: what is in progress, what is overdue and how much each person is carrying.

The status of every project on one page, in your team’s language
Overdue tasks are visible before they turn into a crisis
Work gets divided more fairly and more transparently

04 Starting small

Start with the same simple list — just in a team space

You don’t have to set up a complex process on day one. In Taskie you can start with one project and a few simple tasks; it feels just like a list. The difference is that when the second and third people join, the tool stays the same.

Start with one simple project, no configuration
Boards, calendar and dashboards are there whenever you want them
Team growth no longer means migrating

05 · Migration

Moving from Microsoft To Do, without losing work

Migration is simple when the steps are clear up front.

Review your task lists and separate the team-related tasks from the personal ones.
Create a project in Taskie and add the team tasks with an assignee and a due date, in your own calendar and date format.
Invite the members so handoffs and follow-ups move from email and messages into a shared workspace.

FAQ

Taskie and Microsoft To Do: common questions

How do we move our Microsoft To Do lists to Taskie?

Review the lists and separate the team tasks; create a project in Taskie and add those tasks with an assignee and a due date, in your own calendar and date format. Each task’s steps become subtasks. Personal tasks can stay in your own personal space.

How does paying for Taskie work?

Simply: you pay online through a secure payment page, and every payment comes with an official invoice. Getting started is free, with no upfront payment; you can see plan details and what each includes on the pricing page.

Can reports and dates in Taskie follow our language and calendar?

Yes. The interface, notifications and dashboards follow each person’s language, and due dates are shown in their own calendar system and date format. For a team that isn’t comfortable with an English-only interface or someone else’s calendar, that means faster adoption and fewer mistakes.

How well does Taskie’s free plan serve a small team?

To get a small team started, the free plan gives you the core features — projects, tasks, boards and collaboration — with no upfront payment. Limits depend on the plan; if you reach them, the plan comparison on the pricing page guides your upgrade.
