Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GoodTask at Free against Task's $0.99. GoodTask also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 108). Task's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
