# Daily Checklist vs Five Tasks

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Five Tasks at none against Daily Checklist's 7. Five Tasks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Daily Checklist's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 50%) and ratings volume (284 vs 16). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daily Checklist sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Five Tasks asks for nothing beyond the download.

Five Tasks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daily Checklist has 284 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Daily Checklist's written reviews are positive against 50% of Five Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
