# Obedience vs SubTasks

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.

Both are free to download. Obedience sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and SubTasks sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SubTasks holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Obedience has 3K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Obedience's written reviews are positive against 100% of SubTasks's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
