Starting a side project without weekend? Why? weekend is the better-chances way to push your side project, using emoji tags (based on your own associations, instead of tedious words and colors), intuitive checkpoints (eyeball a % and leave a note, so you can remember where you took off last time you worked on a task), and flat editing (to make everything super clear with no hidden features).

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: weekend project at Free against Weekender's $0.99. weekend project also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Weekender's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
