Welm is a to-do list / task manager that's not for the faint-hearted. It's stark, unapologetic, and built to help you take control of your day, stay focused, and do what truly matters. Most productivity apps (like humans) try to do everything - tags, projects, subtasks, automations - until managing the system becomes its own task. Welm says Skitsnack. It's deliberately simple and rigid, with just enough constraints to keep you honest about what actually matters today, instead of letting your to-do list quietly turn into a second job. How it works: — Simple tasks: No smart lists, tags or nested logic to manage. Tasks are meant to be done, not sit beautifully in a database. — Three buckets: Now, Next, Later. That's it. — Finish what's in front of you: Your buckets only hold so much. The only way to do more things is by clearing your tasks. Welm isn't trying to be your friend (it can sometimes be a little rude). It isn't trying to organize and automate your entire life. It's simply making sure the few things that matter to you get done. At least that's what it tells us.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sumly at every 4 days against Welm's every 10 days. Sumly also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
