    The free plan offers more than that of Todoist (e.g. tags).

    TickTick looks like a ToDoIst knock-off, they have a very vague privacy policy, the parent company is based in Hong Kong, no replies to emails about how they store user data, how long it would take to delete if I cancelled or how they handle credit card info. I wouldn't trust them with any private information.

    Workflowy is a good alternative to ToDoIst in that it's more flexible for making hierarchical notes and lists. It's a bad alternative in the sense that it has no parsing or calendaring features. "Meet Jim on Monday" remains as text and is not parsed as a new task scheduled for Monday.
