Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GoodTask at 4.6 against Today's 4.2. GoodTask also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 18) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Today's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 73%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Today sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and GoodTask sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GoodTask holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoodTask has 2K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Today's written reviews are positive against 73% of GoodTask's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Today ships an update every 3 weeks, GoodTask every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on August 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
