# Checklists App vs List!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: List! at 78% against Checklists App's 22%. List! also leads on ratings volume (243 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months). Checklists App's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Checklists App costs $0.99 and List! $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Checklists App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: List! has 243 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Checklists App's written reviews are positive against 78% of List!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Checklists App ships an update every 10 months, List! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
