# Category Therapy vs Sequencing Tasks

Category Therapy and Sequencing Tasks both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Category Therapy's written reviews are positive against 43% of Sequencing Tasks's. Category Therapy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (503 vs 1). Sequencing Tasks's advantage is price (Free vs $29.99). On rating, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Sequencing Tasks is free to download; Category Therapy costs $29.99 up front. Sequencing Tasks sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Category Therapy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sequencing Tasks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Category Therapy has 503 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Category Therapy's written reviews are positive against 43% of Sequencing Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Category Therapy ships an update every 8 months, Sequencing Tasks every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
