Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Practice Capsule at Free against Things's $6.99. Practice Capsule also leads on update cadence (every 8 months vs every 17 months). Things's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
