# Beesbusy vs Smart Tasks

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Tasks at 4.7 against Beesbusy's 4.0. Smart Tasks also leads on ratings volume (4.5K vs 4). Beesbusy's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beesbusy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Smart Tasks sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Tasks holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Tasks has 4.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Beesbusy's written reviews are positive against 79% of Smart Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
