# Mindlist vs Task Room

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mindlist at 1.6K against Task Room's 1. Mindlist also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Task Room's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mindlist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Task Room sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
