Clockwise vs Todoist: which one fits your team?
One of these knows when and not what. The other knows what and not when. Put plainly, they are two halves, and people usually end up running both.
It turns on which half you already have covered, because on their own neither is a complete answer.
Pick Clockwise if
nothing any more, because it closed on 27 March 2026 after the team joined Salesforce. Where it stops: it is no longer available, so this is a landing spot rather than a comparison.
Pick Todoist if
you want the quickest personal list in existence and you mostly work alone. Where it stops: a list is not a plan, and there is no time blocking.
What it costs
For a team of 5, billed yearly: Clockwise does not publish a per seat price we can put in this sum, Todoist is about $480 a year, and UnaTask is €480 plus VAT.
Clockwise: No longer offered. Clockwise shut down on 27 March 2026. Todoist: Generous free tier. Pro around $5, Business around $8 per user per month.

Side by side
| What it does | Clockwise | Todoist | UnaTask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time blocking on a calendar | Gone | No | Core |
| A plan for today and this week | Gone | Partly. A today list, ordered by due date, not a day laid out against hours. | Core |
| Two way calendar sync | Gone | Partly. A calendar view and limited sync, not a calendar you plan on. | Yes |
| It is the task manager itself | No. It was a calendar optimiser, never a task manager. | Core | Core |
| Dependencies and a timeline | No | No | Yes. Dependencies with a timeline that shows what is waiting on what. |
| See who has room | Gone | Partly | Core |
| Booking links | Gone | No | Yes |
| Meetings become tasks | No | No | Yes |
| Email and chat become tasks | No | Yes | Yes |
| Pull requests linked to work | No | No | Yes |
| Docs and wiki inside | No | No | Partly. Docs live on a project, they are not a wiki you would run a company from. |
| Portfolio or agile reporting | Gone | Partly | Partly. Team workload and project progress, not portfolios that roll up to a board. |
| Rules that fire on their own | Gone | Partly | Yes |
| AI that does the work, not just the scheduling | No | No | Yes. AI teammates you assign a task to. The work comes back on the task for review. |
| Useful before you configure it | Gone | Core | Core |
| A free plan | Gone | Yes | Yes |
What should not decide it
They answer the same on 7: time blocking on a calendar, dependencies and a timeline, booking links, turning meetings into tasks, linking pull requests to the work, docs and a wiki inside and AI that does the work rather than the scheduling.
And where UnaTask sits
UnaTask is the halves joined: the pile and the hours in one tool, so nothing has to be kept in sync between them.
It does more than both of them on time blocking on a calendar, having a plan for today, two way calendar sync, dependencies and a timeline, showing who has room, booking links, turning meetings into tasks, linking pull requests to the work, docs and a wiki inside, rules that fire on their own and AI that does the work rather than the scheduling.
