OmniFocus pricing at a glance
As of July 23, 2026, OmniFocus 4 Standard costs $74.99 one time and Pro costs $149.99 one time. Both are universal purchases across supported Apple platforms. The subscription costs $99.99 per year and includes Pro plus OmniFocus for the Web.
Plan | Current price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
Standard license | $74.99 one time | Core GTD workflows across Apple devices |
Pro license | $149.99 one time | Custom perspectives, focus, and automation |
Pro + Web subscription | $99.99 per year | All Pro features plus browser access |
Web add-on | $4.99 monthly or $49.99 yearly | Existing license owners who need web access |
OmniFocus 4 is now a universal Apple-platform purchase, so the current license is not split between Mac and iOS. Older articles describing separate OmniFocus 3 purchases are outdated.
Can you try OmniFocus before paying?
Yes. OmniFocus offers a 14-day fully functional trial. There is no permanent free plan. Omni Group also publishes a 30-day money-back guarantee for qualifying direct perpetual-license purchases.
Is OmniFocus worth the price?
OmniFocus is priced for people whose work genuinely benefits from deep GTD structure, reviews, custom perspectives, and automation. It is difficult to justify as an attractive checklist or casual personal planner.
OmniFocus is probably worth it if…
You actively use GTD reviews, defer dates, perspectives, and project structure
Automation and complex filters save meaningful time
You prefer a one-time license and live mostly on Apple devices
OmniFocus may not be worth it if…
You want a simple, visually light daily planner
Web or Windows access is important but the extra subscription is not
The Pro features do not clearly earn the $149.99 upfront price
Power users call it the gold standard. The learning curve and price are real.
Positive reviews praise complex workflows and unmatched GTD depth. Critical reviews describe a harder interface, uneven quality, and an upgrade price that can feel steep when the visible change seems modest.

It is approaching unusability, and the app feels worse over time.

Price concern
I am happy with OmniFocus 4, but I do think the upgrade price should have been lower.

Choose based on complexity, platforms, and payment model.
Your real need | Try | Why it may fit better |
|---|---|---|
A simpler Apple task manager | Polished personal planning with lower one-time prices | |
A mature cross-platform system | Web, Windows, Android, collaboration, and a useful free tier | |
A visual day beside your calendar | Less GTD machinery and a permanent free plan |

What OmniFocus includes
Inbox, projects, tags, contexts, defer dates, and forecasts
Review workflows designed around GTD
Custom perspectives, focus mode, and automation in Pro
Universal Apple apps with sync
Optional browser access through subscription or Web add-on
Education, refunds, and license choices
Education pricing
Omni Group offers education pricing through its educational store, but the current public page does not state one universal percentage. It does not apply to App Store purchases or subscriptions.
Money-back guarantee
Qualifying perpetual licenses purchased directly from Omni Group have a 30-day money-back guarantee. App Store refunds follow Apple’s process.
License versus subscription
A perpetual license is usually cheaper over a long period if you do not need Web. The yearly subscription can make sense when browser access or a lower upfront commitment matters.
