# Daily Routine Planner vs Checklist Ultra

Checklist Ultra's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daily Routine Planner sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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.
