# ListPro vs Checklist

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.

Checklist is free to download; ListPro costs $4.99 up front. Checklist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ListPro asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for ListPro against 4.7 for Checklist. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist has 2.9K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of ListPro's written reviews are positive against 68% of Checklist's.

ListPro ships an update every 5 months, Checklist fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
