Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Checklist at Free against ListPro's $4.99. Checklist also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 71). ListPro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
