The Verdict
Dropbox Paper is built for small teams and startups, with a focus on collaborative-editing and task-lists. Superlist targets wunderlist fans and small teams and leads with personal-lists and team-workspaces.
Pricing is close: Superlist starts at $9/mo versus $11.99/mo for Dropbox Paper — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
