Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Google Tasks at 4.8 against Link to Windows's 4.0. Google Tasks also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (107K vs 16K). Link to Windows's advantage is chart position (#13 vs #88). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
