# ListPro vs Things 3

The clearest difference is update cadence: Things 3 at fortnightly against ListPro's every 5 months. Things 3 also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 71) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). ListPro's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $9.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ListPro costs $4.99 and Things 3 $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Things 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Things 3 has 28K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of ListPro's written reviews are positive against 76% of Things 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ListPro ships an update every 5 months, Things 3 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
