Software and TechnologySoftware Feature Gap2MildUser$ implied

Users are blocked from adding more than a set number of tasks to their lists in Todoist, which contradicts the app's purpose as a task management tool.

The cap on list items prevents power users from fully utilizing the app for extensive task management, forcing them to either pay for higher tiers or switch to competitors.
