# Do It vs SimpleList

The clearest difference is rating: Do It at 4.7 against SimpleList's 4.0. Do It also leads on ratings volume (115 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). SimpleList's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Do It holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Do It has 115 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Do It's written reviews are positive against 100% of SimpleList's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Do It ships an update every 5 weeks, SimpleList every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
