Make a list once and use it again. Organize packing, shopping and daily to-dos with nested items, your own templates and quick check resets. 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. Parent and child items keep longer lists organized, and you can reorder items to suit your plans. ■ Reuse your lists Save a frequently used list as a template for your next shopping trip or vacation. 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, search your lists, 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. After changing devices, use Restore Purchases with the Apple Account used for your purchase. Make everyday preparation a little easier.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LayerMemo at none against Checklist's 1. LayerMemo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Checklist's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
