Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pendings at none against Make a List!'s 1. Pendings also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). Make a List!'s advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
