Verdict
Deadline and DeadLineTodo both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of DeadLineTodo's written reviews are positive against 62% of Deadline's. DeadLineTodo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Deadline's advantage is ratings volume (63 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deadline sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and DeadLineTodo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Deadline against 4.5 for DeadLineTodo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deadline has 63 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of Deadline's written reviews are positive against 100% of DeadLineTodo's.
Deadline ships an update every 2 weeks, DeadLineTodo every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
