# Cutline vs TickTick

URL: https://gocutline.com/compare/ticktick-alternative/

TickTick is known as an all-round to-do list app with a calendar view, a habit tracker and a Pomodoro timer. Cutline starts from the week instead of the list: you plan time blocks, tick them off and earn XP.

## The short version
| | TickTick | Cutline |
|---|---|---|
| Starts from | A to-do list | The week in time blocks |
| Habit tracking | Yes | Streaks from finished blocks |
| Score for finished time | No | XP, levels, cleared days |
| Social accountability | Limited | The Floor and the Arena |
| Payment links | No | Yes |

## What TickTick does well
TickTick packs a lot into one app: lists, reminders, habits, a focus timer and a calendar. It is a strong choice for people who live in to-do lists.

## What Cutline does differently
- **Time, not tasks.** A list says what; a block says when.
- **The week has a score** and a record.

## Using both
Keep your lists in TickTick and give the important ones a block in Cutline each Sunday.

## Questions

**Can I import my TickTick calendar?**
If you can subscribe to it by an iCal address, you can bring it into Cutline. See [any iCal calendar](https://gocutline.com/integrations/ics-calendar/).
