# Tally vs Sum2Do

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sum2Do at 100% against Tally's 40%. Sum2Do also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Tally's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tally sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sum2Do sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sum2Do holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 25 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sum2Do's.

Tally ships an update fortnightly, Sum2Do every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
