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.

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, 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Checklist at 68% against Dyslexia Notes's 0%. Checklist also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Dyslexia Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
