Is WeekOf7 a replacement for Todoist?

Not necessarily, and not for everyone. Todoist is a general task manager built to hold everything you need to track, indefinitely, across any number of projects. WeekOf7 is narrower on purpose — it's built around one weekly ritual (name your roles, pick a big rock per role, sort the rest in a quadrant), not open-ended task storage. Some people replace Todoist with it; others keep Todoist for the long list and use WeekOf7 for the weekly reset.

Does Todoist have role-based planning like WeekOf7?

No. Todoist organizes work by projects and labels, which you can use to approximate roles if you set it up yourself, but there's no built-in concept of "roles for this week" or a guided weekly review. That structure is WeekOf7's starting point rather than something you configure.

Which one is cheaper?

Todoist's free tier (5 projects, 3 filters) is usable for light task tracking; its Pro tier runs roughly $4-5/month billed yearly. WeekOf7's free tier covers the full weekly workflow with no project cap tied to it; the paid tier is $39.99/year (about $3.33/month) or $8.99/month billed monthly. They're priced similarly — the real difference is what each subscription is for, not which is more expensive.

WeekOf7 vs. Todoist: Which One Fits How You Actually Plan?

Todoist and WeekOf7 show up in a lot of the same “best productivity app” searches, but they’re not really competing for the same job. This comparison is written from that angle: not “which is better” in the abstract, but which one matches how you actually want to plan.

Quick comparison

	Todoist	WeekOf7
Core unit	Projects and tasks, open-ended	Roles for the week + one big rock per role
Prioritization	4 priority levels (P1-P4) or labels, set manually per task	Eisenhower Matrix, built into the core weekly flow
Weekly ritual	Not built in — you’d construct one from filters/views	The main workflow: name roles → pick big rocks → sort the rest
Scale	Built for everything you track, indefinitely (30M+ users, large ecosystem)	Built for one week at a time, deliberately narrower
Free tier	5 projects, 3 filter views, 1-week activity history	Full weekly workflow, no project cap
Paid price	Pro ~$4-5/mo (billed yearly); Business $8-10/user/mo (team plan)	$39.99/yr (~$3.33/mo) or $8.99/mo billed monthly
Integrations/ecosystem	Extensive — calendar sync, dozens of third-party integrations, natural-language quick add, AI Task Assist	Minimal by comparison — this is a young, narrowly-scoped product

What Todoist actually does well

Todoist’s strength is breadth. Five projects on the free tier isn’t much, but Pro’s 300 projects, 150 filter views, and full activity history make it genuinely capable of holding everything — work tasks, personal errands, recurring chores, long-term projects — in one place, searchable and filterable however you want to slice it. Natural-language quick-add (“submit report next Friday 3pm #work p1”) is fast once you learn it, and the integration ecosystem (calendar apps, email, Zapier, dozens more) means it plugs into almost any existing setup.

What it doesn’t do is impose structure. There’s no built-in concept of “this week” as a planning unit, and no guided ritual — you get flexible primitives (projects, labels, priorities, filters) and you’re expected to build your own system on top of them. Its own help documentation walks users through manually assembling an Eisenhower Matrix from labels or priority levels; it’s not a view that exists out of the box. That flexibility is exactly why some people love it and exactly why others abandon a to-do list app within a few weeks — an empty, structureless tool doesn’t tell you what to do with it.

What WeekOf7 does differently

WeekOf7 starts from the opposite assumption: most people don’t need infinite project storage, they need a repeatable way to decide what matters this week across the different roles they’re juggling (manager, parent, student, whatever’s active right now). The workflow is opinionated on purpose — name your roles, pick one big rock per role before looking at your full task list, then sort everything else with an Eisenhower Matrix. There’s no 300-project ceiling to hit because that’s not the unit it’s organizing around.

The honest tradeoff: we’re early. Todoist has a decade-plus track record, tens of millions of users, and an integration ecosystem WeekOf7 doesn’t have yet and isn’t pretending to. If you need a single tool to track a large, sprawling backlog of tasks across many ongoing projects, Todoist is more capable today. If your actual problem is that you have a to-do list app already and it isn’t helping you decide what matters most this week, that’s the specific gap WeekOf7 is built to close.

Can you use both?

Reasonably, yes. Some people keep Todoist (or any task manager) as the long-term catch-all for everything they need to eventually do, and use a weekly ritual like WeekOf7’s on top of it — a Sunday-night pass to pull the 1-2 big rocks per role out of the larger list and commit to them for the week. They’re not mutually exclusive; they operate at different time horizons.

Try it before deciding

You don’t need to commit to find out which structure fits. The Eisenhower Matrix tool and Weekly Planner generator are free and require no signup, or you can see the full paid workflow on the pricing page.
