# HiveBloom vs Task Done

The clearest difference is price: HiveBloom at Free against Task Done's $0.99. HiveBloom also leads on ratings volume (287 vs 1). Task Done's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

HiveBloom is free to download; Task Done costs $0.99 up front. HiveBloom sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Task Done sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Task Done holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HiveBloom has 287 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of HiveBloom's written reviews are positive against 100% of Task Done's.
