Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Weekly Planner at none against SerenityLists's shown. SerenityLists's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
