Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Todo AI at freemium against NotePlan's subscription. Todo AI also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). NotePlan's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NotePlan sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Todo AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
