When comparing Sandglaz vs Teuxdeux, the Slant community recommends Sandglaz for most people. In the question“What are the best cross-platform task apps?” Sandglaz is ranked 45th while Teuxdeux is ranked 59th. The most important reason people chose Sandglaz is:
The interface is built around the concept of "infinity grids" where tasks are placed into time-based milestone periods. Any non-completed tasks from the current milestone automatically move to the next milestone. As such Sandglaz is best suited for teams that plan projects and tasks in milestone sprints. The interface consists of columns of tasks organized in either days or weeks with a slide-out panel for accessing settings, search, notifications and navigating projects. Expanding a task gives access to adding subtasks, notes, attachments, comments, setting due dates, etc. Overall the interface is very utilitarian in execution with only the bare minimum of functionality taking up the space at any given time. Tasks are assigned with @username. Each project can be shared with its own team of collaborators. And hashtags are used for categories.

Pro Automatic task management
Uncompleted tasks move to the next day automatically.
Pro Very easy to collaborate with team members
You can assign tasks with @username and communicate about your collaborative to-dos right within the context of the tasks. You can also share each project with its own team of collaborators.
Pro Advanced recurring tasks functionality
Sandglaz allows users to create really smart recurring tasks – everything from “weekly” to “on the fourth Saturday of the month.”
Pro Fast, easy to use interface
On desktop, tasks are assigned to a single line. To see the full description, you can hover over that task. Editing can be done by double clicking, and re-ordering the events are as easy as dragging them around.
It also supports markdown - a common web formatting tool that allows italics by putting single asterisk () around words or phrases, and bold can be done by using two (*) before and after the phrase you want to be bold. It can also handle links by putting the text you want visible in square brackets, and the link in round brackets so this: [Slant Homepage](https://www.slant.co] would look like this: Slant Homepage
Pro Very focused, allowing it to be the best at one thing
Instead of trying to be a both a calendar and to-do app, it focuses much more on the to-do aspect. There is a calendar view, however your tasks aren't organized by time - just by order. You can reorder the day's events, and if you don't get them done they will automatically roll over into the next day, so you can be sure that you aren't ever missing anything.
Cons
Con No native apps
It can only be accessed using the web client – there are no native apps for desktop or mobile.
Con Subscription based will cost money each month
Instead of a single time purchase, Teuxdeux costs $3 each month, or $24 for a full year. There is a free 30 day trial, so at least you can try before put any money forwards, but a one time fee - even if it's $10 - is cheaper in the long run than a few dollars each month.
Con No Android support
