# Action Tasks vs Task

The clearest difference is price: Task at Free against Action Tasks's $0.99. Task also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 71%). Action Tasks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Task is free to download; Action Tasks costs $0.99 up front. Task sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. Action Tasks asks for nothing beyond the download.

Action Tasks holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Action Tasks has 69 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Action Tasks's written reviews are positive against 80% of Task's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Action Tasks ships an update every 2 months, Task every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
