# Tasks vs LilyDo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LilyDo at 100% against Tasks's 64%. LilyDo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Tasks's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tasks sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and LilyDo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LilyDo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tasks has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Tasks's written reviews are positive against 100% of LilyDo's.

Tasks ships an update every 9 days, LilyDo every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
