Comparison
Google Tasks is a to-do list built into Calendar, Gmail and Docs. KIPRI is an Android app for reminders, birthdays and habits. Both have tasks, and the rest is different.
This comparison was written by the KIPRI developers. We tried to be fair: everything about the other app comes from its own help pages, and what it does better is listed separately.
| What we compare | KIPRI | Google Tasks |
|---|---|---|
| Repeats | Six options, no «every N» | Day, week, month or year; ends never, on a date or after a number of occurrences. A task with subtasks cannot repeat |
| When the notification arrives | One time plus a heads-up | At the scheduled date and time; for a task without a time, at 9 AM |
| How much you can keep | On the free plan: 200 tasks, 200 reminders, 20 birthdays, 7 habits | Up to 100,000 tasks across all lists, up to 20,000 uncompleted tasks in one list |
| Subtasks | A checklist inside a task | Yes |
| Calendar and email | No, the app does not ask for calendar access | A task with a date appears in Google Calendar, and «Add to Tasks» in Gmail turns an email into a task |
| Birthdays | A dedicated section, age, alerts 1-30 days ahead | No such feature in the Tasks help |
| Habit tracker | Built in, with streaks and freezes | No such feature in the Tasks help |
| Collaboration | No | Shared tasks are assigned in Google Chat spaces and in Google Docs (Docs needs an eligible Workspace plan) |
| Android widgets | No | Two: «List» and «New Task» |
| Platforms | Android | Android, iPhone and iPad, a browser on a computer (through Calendar and the side panel in Gmail, Drive and Docs) |
According to Google’s help, a task with a date appears in Google Calendar by itself, and in Gmail an email becomes a task through «Add to Tasks». On a computer Tasks opens inside Calendar and in the side panel of Gmail, Drive and Docs. Since 2025 Google Keep reminders are saved here too.
KIPRI is not connected to mail or to a calendar, and it does not ask for calendar access. Everything in it you enter yourself, by hand or by voice.
Platforms and volume. The help covers apps for Android, iPhone and iPad and use in a browser, and the ceiling is 100,000 tasks per account and 20,000 uncompleted tasks in one list. KIPRI has only an Android app and 200 tasks on the free plan.
Add two home screen widgets and shared tasks in Google Chat and Docs. KIPRI has neither.
There are no birthdays and no habits in the Google Tasks help: it is a to-do list with dates. In KIPRI a birthday is a record of its own with several early alerts, and a habit is an action with a schedule, a streak and a counter.
Repeats in Tasks come with caveats. A task with subtasks cannot repeat, a repeating task cannot be moved to another list, and a single task can be deleted from a series only through Google Calendar.
A task notification can come from the Google app, Tasks or Calendar. The help says that if several of them are installed, only one notifies you. A task with a date and time notifies at that time, a task without a time at 9 AM.
On the same page Google writes that some Android phones turn off or delay notifications for apps you do not use regularly, and suggests giving Tasks the «Alarms & Reminders» permission. KIPRI depends on the same phone settings, so there is no difference here.
Checked against the official pages on 10 October 2026. Prices and limits change; if they differ, trust the source.
If you want a to-do list next to Google mail and calendar, there is no reason to leave Tasks. If you miss birthdays, habits and a heads-up before the reminder, KIPRI has those. KIPRI has no computer or iPhone version.
According to Google’s help, at 9 AM. If the task has a date and time, the notification comes at that time.
No. KIPRI does not ask for calendar access, so tasks and reminders stay inside the app.
The free plan runs the whole app. Limits only start where serious volume starts.
