# Checklist vs Check List Board

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.

Both are free to download. Checklist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Check List Board asks for nothing beyond the download.

Check List Board holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist has 2.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Checklist ships an update every 11 days, Check List Board every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
