# Tasks vs MyerList

The clearest difference is update cadence: Tasks at every 2 days against MyerList's every 3 weeks. Tasks also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (54 vs 7). MyerList's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 57%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tasks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MyerList sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tasks holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tasks has 54 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Tasks's written reviews are positive against 85% of MyerList's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tasks ships an update every 2 days, MyerList every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
