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.

Turn speech into text with Notto. Record or import audio, then create searchable, editable transcripts on your device. Keep lectures, meetings, interviews and personal voice notes ready to read. RECORD OR IMPORT AUDIO Start recording with one tap or import audio files such as MP3, M4A and WAV. Transcribe your recording after it ends, then keep your own notes alongside the text. OFFLINE AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION Download the speech model once, then transcribe audio offline on your device. Your recordings do not need to be uploaded to a server for transcription. No account required. READ, EDIT AND REPLAY Search saved transcripts, correct the text, copy what you need and share it. Replay the original recording whenever you want to check a detail. LECTURES, MEETINGS AND INTERVIEWS Turn a lecture recording into text and add your study notes. Revisit meeting details without typing everything from memory. Review interview transcripts or turn a personal voice memo into a written draft. YOUR TRANSCRIPT. YOUR NOTES. Add headings, checklists and handwriting in the same workspace. Organize notes with tags and favorites. Export as PDF or Markdown, and keep a copy with local backup and restore. Your audio and text stay on your device unless you choose to share or export them. The initial model download requires an internet connection. Transcription takes place after recording stops. Recording, playback and local notes are free. On-device transcription, advanced PDF and Markdown export, and local backup require a one-time Notto Pro purchase. No subscription. Record. Transcribe. Read, edit and share.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Speech to Text at none against Checklist's shown. Speech to Text also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Checklist's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
