# Workflowy vs Superlist

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Workflowy at 88% against Superlist's 48%. Workflowy also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (8.3K vs 466). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Workflowy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Superlist sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Workflowy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Workflowy has 8.3K ratings behind it against 466, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Workflowy's written reviews are positive against 48% of Superlist's.

Workflowy ships an update weekly, Superlist every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 15, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
