# Checkbook vs Quick Checkbook Pro

The clearest difference is price: Checkbook at Free against Quick Checkbook Pro's $0.99. Checkbook also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 994). Quick Checkbook Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#32 vs #173). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Checkbook is free to download; Quick Checkbook Pro costs $0.99 up front. Checkbook sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Quick Checkbook Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Checkbook against 4.2 for Quick Checkbook Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkbook has 14K ratings behind it against 994, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Checkbook's written reviews are positive against 62% of Quick Checkbook Pro's.

Checkbook ships an update every 6 weeks, Quick Checkbook Pro every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
