# Do! vs Checklist

The clearest difference is rating: Do! at 4.7 against Checklist's 4.0. Do! also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 22) and review sentiment (79% vs 68%). Checklist's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Do! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Checklist sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Do! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Do! has 26K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Do!'s written reviews are positive against 68% of Checklist's.

Do! ships an update fortnightly, Checklist every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
