Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Todo at 4.4 against ToDo Simple List's 3.0. Todo also leads on ratings volume (397 vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). ToDo Simple List's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Todo holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. 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 56% of ToDo Simple List'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, ToDo Simple List every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
