# List! Lite vs Checklist+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: List! Lite at 86% against Checklist+'s 51%. List! Lite also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Checklist+'s advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 57) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. List! Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.

List! Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of List! Lite's written reviews are positive against 51% of Checklist+'s.

List! Lite ships an update every 3 months, Checklist+ every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 19, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
