Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Checklist at 2.9K against Checklist Ultra's 1. Checklist Ultra's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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 Checklist Ultra sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Checklist Ultra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist has 2.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Checklist ships an update every 9 days, Checklist Ultra every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
