# Sofa vs Task Flow

Sofa and Task Flow both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Task Flow's written reviews are positive against 60% of Sofa's. Sofa's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 337). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sofa sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Task Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Sofa against 4.6 for Task Flow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sofa has 3.1K ratings behind it against 337, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Sofa's written reviews are positive against 76% of Task Flow's.

Sofa ships an update weekly, Task Flow every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
