CommitMe vs Todoist for building habits
You set the habit as a recurring task. It reappears every morning. You have been rescheduling it for a month.
Todoist will regenerate "go for a run" every morning for a year without ever registering that you have not been running. Reschedule is one tap and leaves no trace. That is why it is so easy to keep doing.
CommitMe keeps the record instead of hiding it. A missed day breaks a streak unless you have pause days banked, and the habits you shared are visible to the crew you invited. Being seen not doing it is the mechanism, not a side effect.
Todoist is a better task manager and CommitMe is not trying to be one. Keep your tasks where they are and put the habits somewhere people can see them.
| CommitMe | Todoist | |
|---|---|---|
| Does anyone else see whether you logged it | Yes. A habit you share is visible to your crew, and they see whether today is logged. | Only for tasks in a shared project, and only if someone looks. |
| The group, and how you get one | A private crew you invite by link, five by default. Or a topic community you join, and build a crew out of the people there. | Collaborators on a project. Built for work, not for a goal. |
| A target the group works at together | A weekly target the crew hits together, set by the owner. Everyone who contributed gets XP when it lands. | A shared project has shared tasks, but no target and no progress against one. |
| What happens when you miss | The streak survives if you have pause days. You earn one per four completions and can bank up to 30. | The task rolls over. Nothing is recorded. |
| Money at stake | None. No money, no forfeit. | None. |
| Turns a vague goal into daily actions | Yes. A written goal comes back as milestones plus one habit for this week. | No. You write the tasks. |
| Chases you when you have not done it | Yes, twice over. Reminders at your local time and a warning in the evening when a streak is at risk, plus any of your crew can nudge you in one tap. | Task reminders, yes. No person is involved. |
| Shows you your own patterns | A heatmap of which days you actually log, and a breakdown of which part of the day you complete in, which appears once you have about ten completions. | Productivity charts for tasks completed. |
| Points, levels or badges | XP with a level multiplier, levels, and 24 badges across six categories and five rarities, awarded automatically. No characters, no gear, no economy. | Karma points and levels for completing tasks. Aimed at throughput, not at a habit. |
| Helps you review the week | A weekly reflection that arrives with the week already counted: which habits you hit against what you said, the completion rate, the streak and where each goal stands. | Productivity stats and a karma score. No prompted review of what you actually did against what you planned. |
| Platform | Web and installable to the home screen. No App Store or Play Store listing. | Web, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, watch apps. |
| Price | Free. One crew on the free tier. No paid tier is live. | Beginner free, with 5 personal projects and 1 week of history. Pro EUR 5 per user/month billed yearly (EUR 60), Business EUR 8. |
| What Todoist is better at | — | Task management. Projects, labels, filters, natural-language input, and integrations CommitMe does not have. |
Use Todoist instead if
what you actually need is a place to put your work. Todoist is the better tool for that, and the two do not conflict.
