The Verdict
Superlist is built for wunderlist fans and small teams, with a focus on personal-lists and team-workspaces. Things 3 targets apple users and gtd practitioners and leads with inbox and today-view.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($9/mo for Superlist, $9.99/mo for Things 3), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Superlist has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Things 3 requires a paid subscription from day one.
Things 3 edges out on user ratings (4.8 vs 4.2). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Both tools are a solid fit for individuals — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
Bottom line: Things 3 has a slight overall edge — but if lightning fast performance matters most to you, Superlist may still be the right call.
