Amazing Marvin
(setup as Todoist)
Todoist has nowhere near the amount of flexibility and friendliness of a UX as Marvin does.
I find Marvin to beat out Todoist in almost every way.
After seeing Marvin, with its huge amount of strategies, my longtime favourite Todoist seems boring to me, so it's hard to change back again.
Amazing Marvin has all the tools I’d been using together in one place. It’s like if Todoist never stopped growing.
Amazing marvin is... well, amazing. Probably one of the best project management / to-do list apps I've ever tried (I'm a big Todoist user).
I discovered Amazing Marvin 6 months ago and it is MUCH better than any other app I used in the past (Todoist, TickTick, etc).

Smart Lists are crucial to setting up a good workflow. While Todoist also has Smart Lists (called filters) Marvin has many more options for queries so you get exactly the items you want.
Better organization
Marvi lets you organize your tasks in infinitely nestable categories and projects. Todoist only has nestable lists and does not distinguish between projects or categories.
Project Management
With Todoist you can directly attach files to a task. With Marvin you have to add a link to a file instead. This is one area where we still got work to do. :)
