# To Do List vs Task

The clearest difference is ratings volume: To Do List at 3.3K against Task's 10. To Do List also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Task's advantage is iOS requirement (16.2 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. To Do List sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Task sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

To Do List holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: To Do List has 3.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of To Do List's written reviews are positive against 80% of Task's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

To Do List ships an update every 5 days, Task every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
