Verdict

The call

Ebbinghaus Planner's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 72%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. todo mate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Ebbinghaus Planner sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

todo mate holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: todo mate has 1.5K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of todo mate's written reviews are positive against 95% of Ebbinghaus Planner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

todo mate ships an update every 8 days, Ebbinghaus Planner every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
