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 call

The clearest difference is rating: Lyria at 5.0 against Todo's 4.4. Lyria also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Todo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (397 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Todo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Lyria sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lyria holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Todo has 397 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Todo's written reviews are positive against 43% of Lyria's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Todo ships an update every 2 months, Lyria monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
