Verdict

The call

Checklist+ and Checklists both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Checklists's written reviews are positive against 50% of Checklist+'s. Checklists also leads on ads (none vs shown). Checklist+'s advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
