Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: List ◎ at none against Checklist+'s shown. List ◎ also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 51%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Checklist+'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
