Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iStore Pre at 3.7 against Checkers Sixty60's 3.1. iStore Pre also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Checkers Sixty60's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (407 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iStore Pre holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkers Sixty60 has 407 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Checkers Sixty60's written reviews are positive against 0% of iStore Pre's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Checkers Sixty60 ships an update every 2 weeks, iStore Pre every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
