# Flow vs Task Room

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flow at 1.7K against Task Room's 1. Flow also leads on device support (5 vs 1). Task Room's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Task Room sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Task Room holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Flow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Task Room's.

Flow ships an update every 4 weeks, Task Room weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
