# Checklists App vs NOTE'd

The clearest difference is price: NOTE'd at Free against Checklists App's $0.99. NOTE'd also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (355 vs 1). Checklists App's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On device support there is nothing between them.

NOTE'd is free to download; Checklists App costs $0.99 up front. NOTE'd sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Checklists App asks for nothing beyond the download.

Checklists App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NOTE'd has 355 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 45% of NOTE'd'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, NOTE'd every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
