Verdict

The call

Do Next and ToDo both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Do Next's written reviews are positive against 60% of ToDo's. Do Next also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months). ToDo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ToDo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 27 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Do Next's written reviews are positive against 60% of ToDo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Do Next ships an update every 5 weeks, ToDo every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
