# Fabulist vs Task Flow

The clearest difference is update cadence: Task Flow at every 3 weeks against Fabulist's every 15 months. Task Flow also leads on ratings volume (337 vs 13). Fabulist's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fabulist sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Task Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fabulist holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Task Flow has 337 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Fabulist's written reviews are positive against 76% of Task Flow's.

Fabulist ships an update every 15 months, Task Flow every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
