India stands alone at the bottom of the price column. Todoist Pro costs ₹330 / $3.45 per month there against $6.99 in the United States, verified Aug 29, 2026. That is roughly 51% off, or about $42 saved over a year if you keep the subscription twelve months.
But here is the twist most articles skip: Todoist is one of the few apps where the whole geo game may be a waste of your time. The company sells Pro directly on its own website, and paying annually there works out near $5 per month — cheaper than the App Store monthly price in most countries, no VPN, no new Apple ID, no risk. India at $3.45 beats it. Mexico at $4.64 beats it. Most of the rest do not.

Pro is the only paid tier tracked here; Todoist also sells Business for teams at a higher rate. Notice how shallow the discount curve is compared with streaming or AI subscriptions — even Japan, usually expensive, sits 20% under the US. And notice Turkey at just −25%. Several apps repriced Turkish storefronts upward during 2025–2026, and Todoist moved the same direction in December 2025. The old “Turkey is always the cheap one” advice is dying app by app.
Is a VPN even worth it for Todoist?
Honest answer: usually no. A VPN changes where your traffic appears to come from. It does not change your Apple ID’s country, and it does not hand you an Indian payment method. To actually subscribe at the Indian price you need an Apple ID set to India plus a way to fund it, and that is account work, not a browser extension toggle.
If you already have those pieces, fine. If you were going to set them up from scratch purely to save $2–4 a month on a to-do app, the official annual plan gets you most of the saving in ten minutes with zero terms risk. That trade barely exists for services where regional gaps hit 70–80%; for Todoist the gap between the honest easy option and the cheapest storefront is small.
How do I actually pay?
The subscription runs through App Store in-app purchase. It bills to whichever country your Apple ID is set to — the storefront follows the account, not your IP.
| Method | Reality (Aug 2026) |
|---|---|
| Local card in the target storefront | Yes, works |
| Apple ID credit / gift cards | Yes, works |
| Apple Pay | Yes, works |
| Google Play gift card | No, not verified anywhere |
| PayPal | Not checked |
| VPN alone | Not enough — payment country is the gate |
Payment hub: how to pay. One practical note: Apple gift cards are region-locked. An Indian Apple ID needs Indian-rupee gift cards, bought in India or from resellers — a US gift card will not redeem into an Indian account.
Will my account get banned?
Nobody has documented Todoist banning users over billing country, and your tasks are tied to your login, not your storefront. But it remains a terms-of-service matter, and companies can act on it. Two rules keep the downside small: never migrate an account you cannot afford to lose, and check the currency on the final billing screen before confirming — the App Store occasionally shows a localized preview and charges something else.
