Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Ocean for DO at Free against Tasks.md's $2.99. Ocean for DO also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Tasks.md's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Ocean for DO is free to download; Tasks.md costs $2.99 up front. Ocean for DO sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Tasks.md asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tasks.md holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ocean for DO has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Ocean for DO's written reviews are positive against 0% of Tasks.md's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ocean for DO ships an update every 3 months, Tasks.md every 12 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
