# Doc vs Task Flow

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Doc at none against Task Flow's 3. Task Flow's advantage is ratings volume (332 vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Task Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Doc asks for nothing beyond the download.

Task Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Task Flow has 332 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Doc ships an update every 2 months, Task Flow monthly. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
