# Checklist+ vs List ◎

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.

Both are free to download. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and List ◎ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

List ◎ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.9K and 4.9K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Checklist+'s written reviews are positive against 70% of List ◎'s.

Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, List ◎ every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
