# Kanbana vs Quarterdeck Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Quarterdeck Pro at 5.0 against Kanbana's 4.1. Kanbana's advantage is ratings volume (187 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kanbana sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Quarterdeck Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quarterdeck Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kanbana has 187 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Kanbana ships an update every 10 days, Quarterdeck Pro every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
