People leave TODOC.ai over its free-plan limits: 2 exports a day, 20,000 characters per export, a TODOC.ai footer on output and only 7 days of export history. Paid use is $9.9 per month, $79 per year or $149 once, and the Lifetime launch price is limited to the first 500 customers.
The listed alternatives are assistants rather than dedicated exporters. ChatGPT Plus is $20 per user per month, with message caps that may apply. Claude Pro is $20 per month, or $17 per month on annual billing ($200 up front), and lists Docs and Slides among its features. Notion AI is built into a workspace, with Plus at $12 per member per month and AI shown as a limited trial. Microsoft Copilot's entry is Microsoft 365 Personal at $9.99 per month, with Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, which is the most direct route to a Word or Excel file. All four have a free option in our data.

Taken from the documented limitations in our TODOC.ai profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TODOC.ai (this page) | $9.9 (Monthly) | Yes | Web | The free plan allows only 2 exports a day, 20,000 characters per export and adds a TODOC.ai footer. |
| ChatGPT | $20/mo (Plus (consumer)) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile, API | Almost every tool (uploads, images, voice, deep research, Codex) has plan-dependent usage caps that OpenAI states can change over time, and the API is billed separately from every ChatGPT subscription. |
| Claude | $20/mo (Pro) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile, API | All plans have usage limits that reset on a schedule; the paid chat subscription does not include API access, which is billed separately per token. |
| Notion AI | $12/mo (Plus) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile | Full AI needs Business or Enterprise, and even there a rolling six-hour and monthly usage allowance applies; premium models, Custom Agents and Workers consume separately purchased Notion credits. |
