    WorkToDo vs Dex: FAQ

    What's the difference between WorkToDo and Dex?
    Dex is a stay-in-touch tool focused on periodic reminders to keep relationships warm. WorkToDo is goal-and-outcome driven — contacts are organized around what you're trying to achieve, with stages and a daily follow-up queue.
    Is WorkToDo a good Dex alternative for founders?
    Yes, if you have finite goals with deadlines — a raise, a hire, a launch — rather than just a network to maintain. It tracks progress, not only last-contacted dates.
    Does WorkToDo replace a stay-in-touch app?
    It covers the same 'don't lose touch' need through its stale-contact bucket, but it's built for closing things, not only keeping in touch.
