Team Tasks vs GQueues
One is a full task manager for Google users that replaces Google Tasks. The other keeps your tasks in Google Tasks and adds a team layer. An honest comparison — including where GQueues is the better choice.
GQueues, from Baydin, Inc. (the makers of Boomerang), is an established task manager built around Google: native iOS and Android apps, two-way Google Calendar sync, a Gmail add-on, unlimited levels of subtasks, and a free plan. What it is not is Google Tasks. GQueues imports your Google Tasks once, and its help center says it does not sync back and forth with them.
Team Tasks is deliberately smaller: a team layer on top of Google Tasks. Boards, assignees, comments, and departments are added on top of your real Google Tasks, which stay visible in Gmail, on Android, and on iOS through two-way sync.
Pick GQueues if you are ready to move your team's tasks into a richer tool. Pick Team Tasks if the point is to keep them in Google Tasks.

The real question: should your tasks stay in Google Tasks?
This comparison mostly comes down to one fact. GQueues is its own task system. You can import your Google Tasks with one click, but it is a one-time import — GQueues' help center says it "does not sync back and forth with Google Tasks" — so after the move, your tasks live in GQueues rather than in the Gmail sidebar or the Google Tasks apps. GQueues brings its own Gmail add-on, Chrome extension, and mobile apps to replace them.
Team Tasks goes the other way. Every task on a board stays a real Google Task, synced both ways: board edits are pushed to Google right away, and Google-side changes are pulled about every 10 seconds while the board is open, otherwise about every 10 minutes. The Gmail sidebar and the Google Tasks apps keep working, so nobody has to change how they check their to-dos.
If nobody on your team depends on Google Tasks, that difference stops mattering and GQueues' larger feature set wins. If they do, choosing GQueues means leaving Google Tasks behind.
Where GQueues is the better choice
GQueues is the more complete task manager, and an established one. It has native iOS and Android apps; two-way Google Calendar sync, so you can add tasks from either side; a Gmail add-on, email-to-task, and Google Drive attachments; tags, Smart Queues (saved filters), unlimited levels of subtasks, snooze, and Quick Add; and, on every plan, both list and board views plus a connection for AI assistants (MCP) and an API.
It can also cost less for very small teams, and it has no seat minimum. GQueues Lite is free, and GQueues for YOU — $3 a month billed yearly — includes collaborative sharing, comments, and assignments, so three people pay $9 a month. Team Tasks has no free plan and a $10 monthly minimum.
If your team is ready to leave Google Tasks for a richer system, GQueues is a strong, Google-friendly choice.
Where Team Tasks is the better choice
Team Tasks wins when your tasks need to stay in Google Tasks — the one thing GQueues does not do. On top of them it adds what Google Tasks lacks for a team: shared boards backed by a team Google account, a company divided into departments with owner, admin, and member roles, assignees, comments with @mentions, labels, list, table, and calendar views, a My Day agenda, board reports, and an installable web app that works offline.
It also costs less at team size. Ten people on GQueues for BUSINESS pay $40 a month billed yearly ($50 billed monthly); ten people on Team Tasks pay $20 a month. And leaving is painless, because your tasks never left Google.
What you give up is most of GQueues' extra depth: native mobile apps, two-way Calendar sync, the Gmail add-on, Drive attachments, unlimited subtask levels, and maturity. Team Tasks is a new product and says so plainly.
Moving between them
Going from Google Tasks to GQueues takes one click, as a one-time import (tasks from Google Chat spaces are not included). Going from GQueues to Team Tasks has no dedicated importer: GQueues can export backup files, and Team Tasks' CSV import accepts tasks, subtasks, assignees, labels, and columns, so an export can be reshaped into that format.
Frequently asked questions
Does GQueues sync with Google Tasks?
No. GQueues can import your Google Tasks once, but its help center says it does not sync back and forth with Google Tasks. After the import, tasks live in GQueues and no longer appear in the Gmail sidebar or the Google Tasks apps. Team Tasks keeps every task a real Google Task, with two-way sync.
What does GQueues cost compared to Team Tasks?
As of October 2026, GQueues Lite is free; GQueues for YOU is $3 a month and GQueues for BUSINESS is $4 per user per month, billed yearly ($3.75 and $5 billed monthly), with a 14-day trial of BUSINESS and no seat minimum. Team Tasks has no free plan: it costs $2 per user per month with a $10 monthly minimum, after a 14-day free trial — $10 a month covers up to 5 people.
Does GQueues have a kanban board?
Yes. Every GQueues plan includes both a list view and a board view, and any queue can switch between them. Team Tasks is also built around kanban boards, with list, table, and calendar views.
Is GQueues an alternative to Team Tasks?
Only if you are willing to leave Google Tasks. GQueues is the fuller task manager — native mobile apps, two-way Google Calendar sync, a Gmail add-on — but it replaces Google Tasks rather than building on it. Team Tasks is for teams whose tasks need to stay in Google Tasks.
Can I move from GQueues to Team Tasks?
Not directly — there is no GQueues importer. GQueues can export backup files, and Team Tasks has a CSV import for tasks, subtasks, assignees, labels, and columns, so an export can be reshaped into that format.
