# List Maker ◎ vs Make

The clearest difference is monetization model: Make at free with in-app purchases against List Maker ◎'s subscription. List Maker ◎'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. List Maker ◎ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Make sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. 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 4.7 for Make. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: List Maker ◎ has 6.8K ratings behind it against 198, 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 71% of Make's.

List Maker ◎ ships an update monthly, Make every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
