# List Maker ◎ vs Basket Case

The clearest difference is monetization model: Basket Case at freemium against List Maker ◎'s subscription. Basket Case also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). List Maker ◎'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8K vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. List Maker ◎ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Basket Case sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Basket Case holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: List Maker ◎ has 8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of List Maker ◎'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Basket Case's.

List Maker ◎ ships an update monthly, Basket Case every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
