Make a list once and use it again. Organize packing, shopping and daily to-dos with nested items, your own templates and quick check resets. Core features are free; ad removal is a one-time purchase. ■ Organize items into lists and sublists Group items by category: Trip → Clothes → Shirts and socks. Parent and child items keep longer lists organized, and you can reorder items to suit your plans. ■ Reuse your lists Save a frequently used list as a template for your next shopping trip or vacation. Copy items or entire lists instead of entering everything again. ■ See what is left to do Checking a parent item also checks its children. Switch between To-Do and All to see the remaining items. Use Uncheck All to reset your list for next time. ■ Everyday conveniences Add items continuously, search your lists, and move or copy items. Use Dark Mode and a badge showing the number of unchecked items. Export lists to Notes, email or other apps to share them. ■ Remove ads with a one-time purchase Core features are free. Premium removes ads with a one-time purchase, not a subscription. After changing devices, use Restore Purchases with the Apple Account used for your purchase. Make everyday preparation a little easier.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Checklists at none against Checklist's shown. Checklists also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 68%). Checklist's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Checklist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Checklists sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Checklist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. 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 89% of Checklists's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Checklist ships an update every 11 days, Checklists every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
