# Taskboard vs Tasks

The clearest difference is update cadence: Tasks at weekly against Taskboard's every 2 months. Tasks also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 46). Taskboard's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 64%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Taskboard sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Tasks sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tasks holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tasks has 1.9K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Taskboard's written reviews are positive against 64% of Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Taskboard ships an update every 2 months, Tasks weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
