Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Tasks at none against MeisterTask's 11. Google Tasks also leads on ratings volume (107K vs 1.8K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). MeisterTask's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 63%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Google Tasks holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Tasks has 107K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of MeisterTask's written reviews are positive against 63% of Google Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MeisterTask ships an update every 3 weeks, Google Tasks weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
