Todoist in 2026: New Pro and Business Prices, Plus Ramble's Voice-to-Task AI

Todoist raised Pro and Business prices on December 10, 2025, then shipped Ramble, a Gemini-powered voice-to-task feature, on January 21, 2026. Here is what each plan now costs, who keeps the old price, and what the new AI actually does.

Todoist app with its 2026 pricing tiers and the Ramble voice-to-task feature

Todoist spent the turn of 2026 doing two things at once. On December 10, 2025 it raised the price of both paid tiers, Pro and Business, the second increase in the span of a few years. Then, a little over a month later, on January 21, 2026, it launched Ramble, a voice-to-task feature that turns rambling, unstructured speech into a clean, dated, prioritised list of tasks.

Those two moves are worth reading together. The price went up, but so did what a paid subscription buys you, and the gap between what free and paid users get is now wider than it has ever been. This guide walks through exactly what each plan costs after the change, who is shielded from the increase, what the Todoist Assist AI suite does, and whether Ramble is a gimmick or the reason to finally pay.

What changed on December 10, 2025

Todoist increased the price of its two paid plans on December 10, 2025. The increases were not uniform: Pro and Business went up by different amounts and on different multiples, so it is worth taking them separately.

Pro rose from $4 to $5 per month on annual billing, which moves the yearly bill from $48 to $60. Paid monthly, Pro went from $5 to $7. Business rose from $6 to $8 per user per month on annual billing, taking the yearly cost from $72 to $96 per seat, and from $8 to $10 per user on monthly billing.

How the new price reaches you

The new rate is not charged immediately. It applies automatically at your next renewal on or after December 10, 2025. On a Business team, members added on or after that date pay the new rate right away, while members added before it keep the old rate until their own renewal comes around.

In other words, an existing annual subscriber does not feel the change until their renewal date arrives. There is nothing to click and no new plan to choose; the higher figure simply appears on the next invoice.

Comparison of Todoist's Beginner, Pro and Business tiers — The three-tier structure Todoist sells after the December 2025 increase.

The three-plan lineup after the increase

Todoist now sells three tiers. The free plan is branded Beginner, and above it sit Pro and Business.

Beginner (free)

Up to 5 personal projects and up to 5 team projects
Up to 3 custom filters
No access to the Todoist Assist AI features
Ramble capped at 10 voice sessions per month

Pro — $5/month annual, $7/month monthly

Up to 300 personal projects and up to 150 filters
Custom reminders, task durations and time-blocking, deadlines
Full activity history and 25 MB file uploads
Full Todoist Assist: Task Assist, Filter Assist and Email Assist
Unlimited Ramble voice sessions

Business — $8/user/month annual, $10/user/month monthly

Up to 300 personal projects per member and up to 500 team projects
Up to 150 filters per member and 100 MB file uploads
Shared team workspace with admin, member and guest roles, up to 1,000 members
Centralised billing and SOC 2 Type II compliance
Full Todoist Assist and unlimited Ramble sessions

The SOC 2 Type II certification sits with Business only; it is part of that tier's enterprise-security package alongside the roles, permissions and centralised billing, and does not extend down to Pro or Beginner.

Who keeps the old price: the Pro Legacy plan

Not every subscriber pays the new rate. Todoist created a grandfathered tier called Pro Legacy for two groups of users.

Anyone who has held a continuous Pro subscription since before June 2022.
Anyone who subscribes through the Apple App Store, because Apple's billing rules mean App Store subscriptions are not auto-increased.

The catch with Pro Legacy

Keeping the old price has a cost of its own. Pro Legacy holders are frozen out of paid features released after December 10, 2025 — that means no Todoist Assist and no Email Assist. On Ramble they are treated like the free Beginner tier, capped at 10 voice sessions a month rather than the unlimited sessions a standard Pro subscriber gets.

So Pro Legacy is not simply cheaper Pro. It is the old Pro, frozen in time, and the newest and most interesting features are exactly the ones it does not include. If the AI tools below are what you want, the grandfathered price is not the bargain it first looks like.

Todoist Assist: three AI helpers

Todoist Assist is the umbrella name for three AI features that sit inside the app. They are the clearest reason the paid tiers now cost more.

Task Assist

Takes a vague or oversized task and breaks it into concrete, actionable steps, so a line like "plan the offsite" becomes a checklist you can actually work through.

Filter Assist

Turns a plain-language description into Todoist's filter query syntax, which is powerful but fiddly to write by hand. You describe the view you want and it produces the filter.

Email Assist

Turns a forwarded email into a task, pulling the due date and relevant details out of the message automatically. This one is restricted to Pro and Business.

Who gets what

Beginner gets none of the three. Pro Legacy gets Filter Assist only. Standard Pro and Business get all three, with Email Assist exclusive to those paid tiers.

Ramble: turning speech into structured tasks

Ramble is the headline launch of the season. Released on January 21, 2026, it lets you talk the way you actually think — in fragments, out of order, doubling back — and converts that stream of speech into structured tasks, complete with project assignment, due dates, deadlines, priorities and duration estimates. It understands 38 languages and is available on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and the web.

Under the hood, Ramble runs on Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Live model through Vertex AI, wired into the Todoist Assist system. Doist says the audio is neither stored nor used to train models.

The pitch, from Doist founder and CEO Amir Salihefendic, is about lowering the friction of capture:

"The best capture method is the one you'll actually use. People often think in unstructured fragments."

The beta numbers Doist reported back that idea, though they are the company's own figures and not independently audited. Over a roughly three-week public beta from November 19 to early December 2025, about 76,000 users completed around 290,000 sessions. Todoist says its task-creation success rate climbed from about 40% to about 62% across that window, and that free-plan users who tried Ramble upgraded to paid plans at roughly five times the baseline rate.

That last figure explains the pricing strategy neatly. Ramble is free to try but capped: Beginner and Pro Legacy users get 10 sessions a month, while standard Pro and Business get unlimited sessions. The cap is low enough that a heavy user hits it quickly, which is precisely the point.

Is the new price worth it?

The honest answer depends on how you already use Todoist. If you live in the free Beginner tier for a short personal list, nothing forces you to pay; the 5-project ceiling and the 10-session Ramble cap are still usable for light work.

If you rely on filters, deadlines, time-blocking or the AI helpers, the $60-a-year Pro plan is where Todoist now puts its best work, and the unlimited Ramble sessions alone can justify it for anyone who captures tasks on the move. For teams, Business at $96 per seat per year adds the shared workspace, roles and SOC 2 Type II compliance that a company will need before it standardises on the tool.

The one group that should think twice is Pro Legacy holders. Staying on the old price is tempting, but it now means sitting out every new paid feature. If Task Assist, Email Assist or unlimited Ramble matter to you, moving to standard Pro is the only way to get them.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Todoist Pro cost in 2026?

Pro is $5 per month on annual billing, which comes to $60 per year, or $7 per month if you pay monthly. This reflects the December 10, 2025 increase from the previous $4 per month annual rate.

How much does Todoist Business cost per user?

Business is $8 per user per month on annual billing, or $96 per seat per year, and $10 per user per month if billed monthly. It rose from $6 per user per month annual on December 10, 2025.

Do I have to pay the new price straight away?

No. The new rate applies automatically at your next renewal on or after December 10, 2025. Existing annual subscribers keep their current price until that renewal date arrives, and there is nothing to re-select.

Can I keep my old Todoist price?

Yes, if you qualify for the Pro Legacy plan. That covers users with a continuous Pro subscription held since before June 2022, and anyone billed through the Apple App Store. The trade-off is that Pro Legacy excludes paid features released after December 10, 2025, including Todoist Assist and Email Assist.

What is Ramble and which plans include it?

Ramble is a voice-to-task feature launched January 21, 2026 that converts natural, unstructured speech into structured tasks with dates, priorities and durations across 38 languages. Every plan can use it, but Beginner and Pro Legacy are capped at 10 sessions per month while standard Pro and Business get unlimited sessions.

Does Ramble store my voice recordings?

No. Doist states that Ramble's audio is neither stored nor used to train models. The feature runs on Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Live model through Vertex AI, integrated with Todoist Assist.

Is the free Beginner plan still usable?

Yes. Beginner covers up to 5 personal projects, up to 5 team projects and 3 custom filters, plus 10 Ramble sessions a month. It has no access to the Todoist Assist AI features, but it remains a workable free option for light personal task management.
