# List Maker ◎ vs Listshare

The clearest difference is monetization model: Listshare at free with in-app purchases against List Maker ◎'s subscription. List Maker ◎'s advantage is ratings volume (6.8K vs 94) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. List Maker ◎ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Listshare sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for List Maker ◎ against 4.8 for Listshare. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: List Maker ◎ has 6.8K ratings behind it against 94, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of List Maker ◎'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Listshare's.

List Maker ◎ ships an update monthly, Listshare every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
