TickTick pricing at a glance
TickTick has a genuinely useful free plan. Premium is listed at $3.99 per month in the U.S. App Store or $35.99 per year on TickTick’s website as of July 23, 2026. Twelve monthly payments total $47.88, so the current annual price saves $11.89, about 25%.
Plan | Current U.S. price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
Free | $0 | Core task management with permanent account access |
Premium monthly | $3.99 per month | Shorter commitment; offered through supported app stores |
Premium annual | $35.99 per year | Current web offer; about $3 per month |
TickTick’s website currently labels $35.99 as a limited-time 28% discount from a $49.99 annual list price. Prices can differ by country, currency and purchase platform, so compare the final checkout total on the web and in your device’s app store.
Free plan, trial and refund policy
TickTick offers a permanent free account, so there is no need to race through a trial just to test the core product. Its official pricing pages do not promise a universal Premium trial. Paid purchases can be refunded within 14 days by following TickTick’s platform-specific refund process.
Is TickTick Premium worth it?
Premium is less about removing ads or unlocking a prettier checklist. Its value comes from turning TickTick into a full personal planning system: calendar views, filters, more lists and habits, task history, richer reminders and focus tools.
Premium is probably worth it if…
You plan your day in a calendar and need tasks and events in the same view
Custom filters, extra habits, task history or checklist reminders remove daily friction
You use TickTick across several devices and want one planning system for work and life
The free plan may be enough if…
You mainly need quick capture, recurring tasks and a few dependable lists
Your calendar can stay in a separate app and you do not need custom filters
You would rather keep a simpler workflow than pay for features you may not use
People praise the value. Price changes still create friction.
Many reviewers call TickTick one of the better-value productivity subscriptions, especially for calendar-based planning. The criticism is more specific: price increases, regional differences and unclear platform pricing can make renewal feel less predictable.

“In the Netherlands it’s €40 and that’s a lot for me, so it depends on the person.”

Alternatives if TickTick is not the right fit
The best alternative depends on whether you want a calmer day, a guided ritual or a more focused task manager.
Your real need | Try | Why it may fit better |
|---|---|---|
A calmer visual day | Tasks beside your calendar with a simpler daily-planning experience | |
A guided planning ritual | Deliberate daily planning and workload reflection | |
Fast collaborative task capture | A more focused task-list model with mature sharing |
Ellie is our product, so here is the honest pitch: try Ellie if you want your tasks and calendar to feel like one clear day without adopting TickTick’s broader system of lists, habits, filters and focus tools. TickTick is the better fit if those power features are exactly what you want.

Student discount, billing and refunds
Student and educator discount
Enrolled students and educators can receive 25% off the annual Premium plan after verifying with an official school email. The discount cannot be applied to an active subscription or past payment. It lasts one year and can be requested again up to four times.
Billing and renewal
TickTick supports monthly and annual recurring subscriptions. They renew automatically until canceled through the platform where you purchased them. TickTick can change subscription fees with notice, so check the renewal amount rather than assuming an older rate will continue.
Refund window
TickTick’s official upgrade page says you can request a refund within 14 days of purchase. App Store purchases follow Apple’s refund process; other purchases are handled through TickTick feedback or the original payment platform.
