Tasks - Create Live Activities lets you personalize your lock screen like never before. Display your tasks on the Lock Screen and have them always showing above notifications - and also on the Dynamic island. Change the text and background appearance, and choose to hide the tasks. Add up to 5 tasks at a time. Underline and strikethrough tasks, and keep track with a 12 hour timer - all tasks end when the timer ends. If you have any questions or feedback, I'm all ears. Tasks - Create Live Activities was created by an individual in his free time, and I’d love to know what you think. I’m available through Twitter @elohohel.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tasks at none against Checklist+'s shown. Tasks also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Checklist+'s advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 54). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Tasks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Checklist+ against 4.4 for Tasks. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of Checklist+'s written reviews are positive against 57% of Tasks's.
Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Tasks every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
