# Checklist+ vs Checklist

The clearest difference is ads: Checklist at none against Checklist+'s shown. Checklist also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (68% vs 50%). Checklist+'s advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (7.9K vs 22). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Checklist sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Checklist+ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Checklist+'s written reviews are positive against 68% of Checklist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Checklist every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
