# Tody vs Gift List Manager

The clearest difference is ads: Tody at none against Gift List Manager's shown. Tody also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 2.2K). Gift List Manager's advantage is review sentiment (97% vs 86%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tody sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Gift List Manager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Tody against 4.7 for Gift List Manager. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tody has 11K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Tody's written reviews are positive against 97% of Gift List Manager's.

Tody ships an update every 10 days, Gift List Manager every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
