Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: To Do List at none against Checklist Ultra's shown. To Do List also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 1). Checklist Ultra's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. To Do List sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Checklist Ultra sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Checklist Ultra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: To Do List has 3.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
