The clearest difference is rating: TaskForge at 4.7 against Markdown to PDF's 4.4. TaskForge also leads on ratings volume (108 vs 9) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TaskForge sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Markdown to PDF sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
