I’ve tried numerous iOS task-management apps, and none to date have satisfied me as much as Todo.” –Macworld, 4.5 stars. Four main reasons to consider Todo: 1. REAL PRODUCTIVITY.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Tasks at none against Todo's 2. Google Tasks also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Todo's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
