# Checklist+ vs Tasks

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.

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.
