# Do! vs Checklist

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Do! at 26K against Checklist's 2.9K. Do! also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 68%) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Do! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Checklist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Do! against 4.7 for Checklist. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Do! has 26K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Do!'s written reviews are positive against 68% of Checklist's.

Do! ships an update every 9 days, Checklist fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
