# TickTick vs CanGoal

The clearest difference is ratings volume: TickTick at 46K against CanGoal's 72. TickTick also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TickTick sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CanGoal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TickTick holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TickTick has 46K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of TickTick's written reviews are positive against 95% of CanGoal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TickTick ships an update weekly, CanGoal every 11 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
