Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Checklist at Free against Lists To's $0.99. Checklist also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Lists To's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (84% vs 68%). On ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
