Free plan Android
OpenTasks provides a free Android task manager built around the VTODO model, with recurring tasks, reminders, subtasks, and categorization. Its lack of built-in synchronization and calendar support means connected workflows require other applications.

Tasks provides a simple cross-platform task system with a useful free tier. The three-tag limit and Premium requirements for synchronization, backup, and sharing define the upgrade decision.
