# TaskLock vs Do First

The clearest difference is ratings volume: TaskLock at 35 against Do First's 3. TaskLock also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TaskLock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Do First sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for TaskLock against 4.7 for Do First. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TaskLock has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
