# Taskboard vs Kanban

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Taskboard at 87% against Kanban's 46%. Taskboard also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 26.0). Kanban's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Taskboard sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Kanban sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kanban holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kanban has 279 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 46% of Kanban'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, Kanban fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
