# ListMonger vs Checklists App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ListMonger at 94% against Checklists App's 22%. ListMonger also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (29 vs 1). Checklists App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ListMonger costs $0.99 and Checklists App $0.99 up front. ListMonger sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Checklists App asks for nothing beyond the download.

Checklists App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ListMonger has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of ListMonger's written reviews are positive against 22% of Checklists App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ListMonger ships an update every 2 months, Checklists App every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
