Both are free to download. LeanMilestones sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Roadmap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Roadmap holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 26 respectively.
