Nozbe

Nozbe is a task and project-management service for people coordinating individual and shared work across desktop and mobile. It is best suited to users who need recurring work, structured projects, and offline-capable apps rather than a bare checklist. The free tier is useful for a small trial, while serious project work is aimed at Premium or Business.

Overview

Nozbe comes from a company founded in 2007 by Michael Sliwinski and based in Gdynia, Poland. The maker describes its product as European, with EU data protection, and operates with a 20-plus-person fully remote team. Its combination of task planning, project collaboration, and dedicated apps gives it a broader remit than a personal reminder list.

Key features

Tasks can carry deadlines, reminders, recurring schedules, subtasks, and time tracking. Calendar sync helps place planned work alongside other commitments. These tools fit routines and ongoing projects, although the listed active-task limit of three is a severe constraint if it applies to the account you are using.

Projects can be shared with teams, organizations, subcontractors, and other Nozbe spaces. Premium projects support unlimited tasks, comments, sections, tags, and templates, removing the structural ceilings that make the free plan mainly a lightweight workspace. CSV project import and email-to-task forwarding offer practical ways to bring existing work into Nozbe.

Premium includes project and user groups; Business adds unlimited administrators. That makes Business relevant when several people must manage users and projects, not merely when a team wants shared tasks. Dedicated apps work offline, covering Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, while a web app is also supported. Apple and Google sign-in are available.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, has no time limit, and requires no credit card. It supports up to three users, three active projects, three project sections, three tags, and one workspace. Storage is 500 MB per space with a 10 MB file limit, and completed-task history lasts seven days. Those caps suit a personal setup or a very small pilot, but quickly become restrictive for a growing project archive.

Premium costs $6 a month per member when billed yearly, or $7.50 a month per member when billed monthly, for one to 200 people. It provides unlimited projects and sections, 20 GB of storage per user, and a 200 MB file limit, along with the unlimited project capabilities described above. Creating another free space starts a seven-day Premium trial. Online payment orders have a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Business costs $9 per member per month when billed yearly, for one to 200 people. It adds unlimited workspaces, unlimited storage, a 200 MB file limit, unlimited projects, and unlimited administrators. Choose it for organization-wide administration and workspace capacity; otherwise Premium is the more proportionate paid tier. Payments can use major cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, selected bank methods, the App Store, or Google Play, with Stripe and Verifone handling payment and invoicing.

Platforms

Nozbe runs on the web and has dedicated Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows apps. The dedicated applications work offline, which is useful for maintaining task work when a connection is unavailable. Calendar sync and sign-in through Apple or Google complement the cross-device setup.

Who it's for

Nozbe is a good fit for individuals and teams that need shared projects, recurring responsibilities, reminders, and a consistent offline-capable app set. Premium is the sensible choice for teams that will exceed three projects or need substantial files and project structure. Business is aimed at organizations that require unlimited workspaces, storage, and administrative roles. Users wanting only a simple, unrestricted personal checklist may find the free caps and collaboration-oriented tiers unnecessary.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Recurring tasks, reminders, deadlines, subtasks, and time tracking cover ongoing operational work.
• Premium removes project, section, task, comment, tag, and template limits.
• Offline desktop and mobile apps support work without a connection.
• Sharing spans teams, organizations, subcontractors, and other Nozbe spaces.
• A seven-day Premium trial and 30-day money-back guarantee reduce the risk of upgrading.

Cons

• The free tier allows only three users, three active projects, three sections, three tags, and one workspace.
• Free storage is 500 MB per space with a 10 MB file cap, and history is limited to seven days.
• Monthly Premium costs $7.50 per member, higher than the yearly rate.
• The three-active-task limit can undermine use as a full daily task list.

Verdict

Choose Nozbe when shared, recurring project work and offline apps matter more than having a generous free tier. Premium is the practical destination for most active teams, while Business earns its price when unlimited workspaces, storage, and administrators are necessary. Look elsewhere if you need an unrestricted free task manager or a simpler personal checklist without project caps.
