Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HabitBear at 100% against Checklists's 0%. HabitBear also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). Checklists's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
