The short version
- Each has a real cost: Any.do bare-bones free plan: lacks recurring tasks and third-party integrations available only in paid plans; Supernormal credit consumption varies by task complexity and no rate card is published, so a team cannot forecast whether fifty credits covers a month of work until it has spent one, which makes the paid tiers hard to size.
- They diverge on capability: Any.do covers Task lists, Supernormal covers Bot-free desktop capture.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Any.do
- Bare-bones free plan: lacks recurring tasks and third-party integrations available only in paid plans
- Short planning window: only allows planning up to seven days ahead, limiting long-term project planning
- Limited desktop performance: web and desktop versions struggle with functionality and responsiveness
- Slow customer support: email support takes approximately 48 hours to respond
- Missing drag-and-drop: inability to drag tasks between lists creates workflow friction
Supernormal
- Credit consumption varies by task complexity and no rate card is published, so a team cannot forecast whether fifty credits covers a month of work until it has spent one, which makes the paid tiers hard to size.
- Team and Business include the same fifty credits, so the higher tier buys governance rather than capacity, and a heavy user hitting the ceiling gains nothing by upgrading.
- Capturing without a visible bot removes the prompt that reminds participants they are being recorded, but not the legal consent obligation in two-party consent jurisdictions, and the product makes that omission easy.
- Desktop capture depends on the application running on the meeting host's machine, so a participant joining from a phone, a locked-down corporate laptop or a browser without the extension gets nothing.
- The category is crowded with better-funded competitors bundled into Zoom, Microsoft and Google subscriptions customers already pay for, which puts sustained pressure on a small independent vendor and on the value of standardising a team on it.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Any.do: Does Any.do have a free version?
Yes, Any.do offers a free plan with no time limit or credit card required. The free plan includes basic tasks, lists, calendar sync, and daily planner features. Premium features like recurring tasks, location reminders, and AI features require a paid subscription starting at $4.99/month.
SourceSupernormal: Does Supernormal join my meeting as a bot?
No. It captures from the desktop application, so no additional participant appears in the call. That is its main differentiator.
Any.do: Can you share tasks with other users?
Task sharing is limited on Any.do. With a single-user license, you cannot share personal tasks. Team collaboration requires purchasing additional licenses at $5 per user per month on top of your base plan.
SourceSupernormal: How much does it cost?
Free gives 15 credits a month capped at 5 a day. Team is $20 a month and Business is $40 a month, both with 50 credits.
Any.do: Does Any.do integrate with Google Calendar?
Yes, Any.do syncs with Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud. However, users report some difficulties with the depth of Google Calendar integration compared to competing products.
SourceSupernormal: What does a credit buy?
Credits are consumed by tasks and usage varies with complexity. The vendor does not publish per-task rates, which is the weak point of the pricing model.
Any.do: Does Any.do work offline?
Any.do is primarily a cloud-based application and does not have robust offline functionality. The web and desktop versions sometimes struggle with performance when offline.
SourceSupernormal: Do I still need consent to record?
Yes. Removing the visible bot does not remove the legal requirement in jurisdictions that require all parties to consent. Treat the absence of a prompt as a compliance risk, not a feature.
Any.do: What platforms does Any.do support?
Any.do is available across desktop (Mac and Windows), web browsers, iOS, and Android, providing cross-platform access to your tasks and calendar.
