# Do! vs Smart Tasks

The clearest difference is ads: Smart Tasks at none against Do!'s shown. Do!'s advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 4.5K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Do! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Smart Tasks sells 5 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 — 4.7 for Do! against 4.7 for Smart Tasks. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Do! has 26K ratings behind it against 4.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 80% and 79% positive.

Do! ships an update every 9 days, Smart Tasks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
