# Tasks vs Task Flow

The clearest difference is update cadence: Tasks at weekly against Task Flow's every 3 weeks. Tasks also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 337). Task Flow's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 64%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tasks sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Task Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Tasks against 4.6 for Task Flow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tasks has 1.9K ratings behind it against 337, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Tasks's written reviews are positive against 76% of Task Flow's.

Tasks ships an update weekly, Task Flow every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
