# Checklist vs Task Flow

The clearest difference is rating: Task Flow at 4.6 against Checklist's 3.6. Task Flow also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 48%) and ratings volume (342 vs 104). Checklist's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Checklist sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Task Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Task Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 104 and 342 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Checklist's written reviews are positive against 76% of Task Flow's.

Checklist ships an update every 4 days, Task Flow every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
