# ToDo List vs Progress

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Progress at none against ToDo List's 1. Progress also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ToDo List's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ToDo List sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Progress asks for nothing beyond the download.

Progress holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ToDo List has 5.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 86% and 87% positive.

ToDo List ships an update every 2 months, Progress every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
