Pros
Pro 100% Free
Just like todo.txt cli, this is 100% free (although donations are accepted).
Pro Also comes in a cloudless an Owncloud version
For those who don't care about syncing there is a cloudless version while people who run Owncloud may opt for the Owncloud version.
Pro There is an add to calendar button
This not only tells one's calendar (and thus any devices that sync with your calendar) about the todo, but allows all synced calendars to play an audible alarm when the todo is scheduled to be finished.
Pro Seemless compatibility with todo.txt cli
Let's one sort to-dos by due date then priority

Cons
Con Must use DropBox service
Con As far as I know this app is Android only
I believe Simpletasks is an Android only app.
Con Free version limited to 20 folders
Con Android app has annoying notifications
Whenever the app fails a background sync action for any reason (server issues, lack of internet connection, etc.), a notification appears.
Con Good as a starting point
Toodledo is a good starting point, but is essentially the same as an Excel spreadsheet where you have to build your workflow via the saved searches.
