# Ikes vs TaskTale

The clearest difference is rating: TaskTale at 5.0 against Ikes's 4.7. TaskTale also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Ikes's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (31 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ikes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TaskTale sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TaskTale holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ikes has 31 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Ikes's written reviews are positive against 100% of TaskTale's.
