# Checklist vs Checklists

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.

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.
