Cons
Con Limited free plan
After the free trial you can choose to remain on a free plan, but you’ll be restricted to a max of 5 projects and will have limitations on collaboration.
Con Task dependencies missing
Nozbe is great, but one shortcoming relates to "task dependencies" in projects. You should be able to sequence your tasks so that, when you complete a task, the next one that needs to be done becomes the "priority" task for that project. This is a vital feature that will make the program dramatically more useful. The company claims to be working on this improvement.
Con Only available for Apple products
Con High price point
However, a fully functional free trial is available.
Con Not as full-featured as OmniFocus
Con Cannot share tasks with others
