# Todo vs GoodTask

The clearest difference is monetization model: GoodTask at free with in-app purchases against Todo's subscription. GoodTask also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 46%). Todo's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Todo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and GoodTask sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GoodTask holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoodTask has 2K ratings behind it against 391, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Todo's written reviews are positive against 73% of GoodTask's.

Todo ships an update every 2 months, GoodTask every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
