# Manageable vs Lists

The clearest difference is rating: Manageable at 4.4 against Lists's 2.5. Manageable also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 2). Lists's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manageable sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Lists sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Manageable holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manageable has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Manageable's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lists's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Manageable ships an update every 6 months, Lists every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
