Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Check List Board at none against Checklist's 1. Check List Board also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Checklist's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
