TODOIST* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Todoist processes subscription payments for their task management app, they use a truncated billing identifier that combines their brand name with an asterisk separator, a format commonly used by payment processors like Stripe to distinguish the merchant name from additional transaction details. The descriptor "TODOIST*" shows up on your bank statement rather than the full company name because payment networks impose strict character limits on merchant descriptors, and the asterisk is used to separate the merchant identifier from a secondary field that may include a plan type or billing period. If you signed up for Todoist's Pro plan at around $4.00 per month, this is the expected charge descriptor you will see from them each billing cycle.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Todoist. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
