# TaskFire vs Purelist

The clearest difference is rating: Purelist at 4.6 against TaskFire's 4.3. Purelist also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 65%). TaskFire's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 41) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TaskFire sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Purelist sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Purelist holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TaskFire has 1.5K ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of TaskFire's written reviews are positive against 75% of Purelist's.

TaskFire ships an update monthly, Purelist fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
