# List! vs Checklist+

The clearest difference is price: Checklist+ at Free against List!'s $1.99. Checklist+ also leads on ratings volume (7.9K vs 243) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). List!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Checklist+ is free to download; List! costs $1.99 up front. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. List! asks for nothing beyond the download.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 243, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of List!'s written reviews are positive against 51% of Checklist+'s.

List! ships an update every 3 months, Checklist+ every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
