Both are free to download. Minimalist Launcher sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Five Tasks asks for nothing beyond the download.
Five Tasks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minimalist Launcher has 3.6K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Five Tasks's written reviews are positive against 86% of Minimalist Launcher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
