# Metanote vs Taskdown.md

The clearest difference is rating: Metanote at 4.5 against Taskdown.md's 2.5. Metanote also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 33%) and ratings volume (11 vs 2). Taskdown.md's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metanote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Taskdown.md asks for nothing beyond the download.

Metanote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metanote has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Metanote's written reviews are positive against 33% of Taskdown.md's.

Metanote ships an update every 2 weeks, Taskdown.md daily. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
