Verdict
Google Tasks and Mago both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Mago's written reviews are positive against 63% of Google Tasks's. Mago also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Google Tasks's advantage is ratings volume (107K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
