# Kanbana vs MeisterTask

The clearest difference is rating: MeisterTask at 4.6 against Kanbana's 4.1. MeisterTask also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 187) and review sentiment (83% vs 75%). Kanbana's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kanbana sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and MeisterTask sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $16.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MeisterTask holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MeisterTask has 1.8K ratings behind it against 187, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Kanbana's written reviews are positive against 83% of MeisterTask's.

Kanbana ships an update every 10 days, MeisterTask every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
