# EZ Register vs Checkbook

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Checkbook at 100% against EZ Register's 41%. Checkbook also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and ads (none vs shown). EZ Register's advantage is ratings volume (45 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EZ Register sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Checkbook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Checkbook holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EZ Register has 45 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of EZ Register's written reviews are positive against 100% of Checkbook's.

EZ Register ships an update every 3 months, Checkbook every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
