Elisi: AI Planner & To-Do List vs Penjo: Pencil Journal, Planner

An honest comparison based on real user reviews. Both are popular Bullet Journal Companion apps — but which one do users complain about less?

Elisi: AI Planner & To-Do List

Main Weakness

Critical reliability issues including data loss, sync failures, crashes, and abandoned customer support despite paid subscriptions

"all my information was gone including weeks of plans I had loaded in ahead of time"
"I've lost years of data"

Penjo: Pencil Journal, Planner

Main Weakness

Poor multi-device sync and premium features not activating after purchase, with forced updates without user consent

"If you want to use it on more than one device forget it. I have an iPad iPhone and Mac. It was a hot mess. Uninstalls, reinstalls, crashes"
"I recently paid for the lifetime license access and I am still unable to lock the journal, add files, delete, and bookmark"
