Pros & Cons
Todoist
Pros
Long track record of stability and active development since 2007
Fast, well-regarded natural language input for quick task capture
Generous cross-platform support across virtually every major device and OS
Bootstrapped, profitable company not dependent on investor pressure to monetize aggressively
Clean, minimalist interface that avoids feature bloat found in heavier PM tools
Cons
Free plan's 5-project limit is restrictive for users managing multiple areas of life or work
Recent price increases from December 2025 raised both Pro and Business plan costs
Lacks some advanced project management features like Gantt charts and resource management found in tools like Asana or ClickUp
No built-in time tracking without third-party integrations
Business plan's per-user pricing can add up quickly for larger teams
Hover
Pros
No special hardware needed; works from smartphone photos
Reduces measurement errors and material waste on projects
Used by a large base of construction professionals
Integrates with common CRM, estimating, and insurance tools
Includes both general exterior and roofing-specific tools
Cons
Pricing is not published and requires contacting sales
Primarily focused on exterior/roofing use cases, not interiors
Best suited to professional/business use rather than individual homeowners
Accuracy depends on photo quality and capture conditions
