# Kanban vs TaskMind

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TaskMind at 68% against Kanban's 46%. TaskMind also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Kanban's advantage is ratings volume (280 vs 53). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kanban sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and TaskMind sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TaskMind holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kanban has 280 ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Kanban's written reviews are positive against 68% of TaskMind's.

Kanban ships an update fortnightly, TaskMind weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
