ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Simple Checklist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Checklist has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of CheckListFree's written reviews are positive against 62% of Simple Checklist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CheckListFree ships an update every 2 weeks, Simple Checklist every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
