FAQ

Check out our pricing page for the cost of each plan in your currency. 

We've landed on 500 to make sure that Todoist can sync quickly and successfully. More than 500 increases the time it takes to sync your data and creates the risk of a sync issue. That said, we're working to make our sync engine faster and aim to increase this limit.

Although you can only create one free team at a time, you can join as many teams as you want.

The limits only apply to active tasks, sections, and projects.

We are not able to increase limits for individual accounts.
