The Verdict
Any.do is built for minimalists and casual users, with a focus on daily-planner and calendar-integration. Fantastical targets apple users and professionals and leads with natural-language and calendar-sets.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($5.99/mo for Any.do, $6.75/mo for Fantastical), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
