In their own right
2Do
A deeply configurable task manager with smart lists, projects and checklists, sold as a $49.99 one-time licence direct from the developer. The Mac App Store version of the same app is subscription-only.
OmniFocus 4
A serious task manager with nested projects, tags, defer dates, custom perspectives and a formal review cycle. Omni leads with a subscription but still sells a one-time licence, and that licence covers every Apple platform in one purchase.
