Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: SubTasks at free with in-app purchases against Obedience's subscription. SubTasks also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Obedience's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 40) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
