Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Done List at none against Hourly Chime's 1. Done List also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (82% vs 50%). Hourly Chime's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 11). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hourly Chime holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hourly Chime has 1.9K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Hourly Chime's written reviews are positive against 82% of Done List's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hourly Chime ships an update every 3 months, Done List every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
