Everything in Infinity Lists can be customized to fit your specific needs. Lists can be as simple as this week's groceries, but the real value of Infinity Lists is in its powerful customization tools. If you're looking for customization and complete control, put this on your to-do list: buy Infinity Lists from the App Store." -- Mac|Life (5/5 stars) Rating: 'Awesome' "Customization out the wazoo. Very nice interface for such a full-featured app. It works almost precisely the way you expect an iOS app to work, and it's jam-packed with features that leave it balancing lightly on the line between a powerful list app and a simple database. And yet, with all these complexities, the lists themselves are easy to use, easy to organize, and easy to update." -- Wired (9/10 stars) Rating: 'Nearly flawless: buy it now' "Exactly What a List App Should Be. They've brought something new to a genre that is otherwise tired and cluttered with generic developments. Infinity Lists is easily one of, if not the best list app for iPhone and iPad that we've ever seen." -- appPicker "It's clearly a very flexible app. It is quick and easy to use, works seamlessly between iPhone and iPad versions, and syncs easily. This is a great tool that will work perfectly for most tasks you have." -- c|net "Your complete List Assistant.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Infinity Lists at none against Grocery List's shown. Grocery List's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 808). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. Grocery List sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Infinity Lists sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
