# ToDo List vs Checklist

The clearest difference is rating: ToDo List at 4.7 against Checklist's 3.9. ToDo List also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 59%) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 31). Checklist's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ToDo List sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Checklist asks for nothing beyond the download.

ToDo List holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ToDo List has 5.3K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of ToDo List's written reviews are positive against 59% of Checklist's.

ToDo List ships an update every 2 months, Checklist every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
