Workflowy's advantage is ratings volume (8.3K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Workflowy's written reviews are positive against 100% of To Do List Book's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Workflowy ships an update weekly, To Do List Book every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
