# Checklist vs MyToyFile

The clearest difference is price: Checklist at Free against MyToyFile's $0.99. Checklist also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 11 months). MyToyFile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Checklist is free to download; MyToyFile costs $0.99 up front. Checklist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MyToyFile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Checklist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist has 2.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Checklist's written reviews are positive against 75% of MyToyFile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Checklist ships an update every 9 days, MyToyFile every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
