Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sisyphus Tasks at 5.0 against Spark's 4.5. Spark's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (52 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sisyphus Tasks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spark has 52 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Spark's written reviews are positive against 75% of Sisyphus Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spark ships an update weekly, Sisyphus Tasks every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
