Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Todo at none against Checklist's 1. Todo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (81% vs 68%). Checklist's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 13). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
