# 할일 vs todo mate

The clearest difference is ads: todo mate at none against 할일's shown. todo mate also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). 할일's advantage is review sentiment (96% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 할일 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per year and todo mate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

todo mate holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: todo mate has 1.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of 할일's written reviews are positive against 72% of todo mate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

할일 ships an update every 7 months, todo mate every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
