# GoodTask vs TextMeter

The clearest difference is rating: TextMeter at 5.0 against GoodTask's 4.6. TextMeter also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%). GoodTask's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 4) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). 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 TextMeter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TextMeter 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 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of GoodTask's written reviews are positive against 100% of TextMeter's.

GoodTask ships an update every 4 days, TextMeter weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
