Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Listor at none against Make a List!'s shown. Listor also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.6). Make a List!'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 10). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
