# GoodTask vs Cruise

The clearest difference is rating: Cruise at 5.0 against GoodTask's 4.6. GoodTask's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GoodTask sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and Cruise sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cruise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoodTask has 2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GoodTask ships an update every 6 days, Cruise weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
