Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple List at none against Checklist+'s 3. Simple List also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Checklist+'s advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 18) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
