# Simple List App vs Task List To Do

The clearest difference is rating: Task List To Do at 5.0 against Simple List App's 4.7. Task List To Do also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Simple List App's advantage is ratings volume (396 vs 27) and review sentiment (88% vs 75%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple List App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Task List To Do sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Task List To Do holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple List App has 396 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Simple List App's written reviews are positive against 75% of Task List To Do'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 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
