# Checklist+ vs Make

The clearest difference is rating: Make at 4.7 against Checklist+'s 4.4. Make also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 51%). Checklist+'s advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 198) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Make sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Make holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 198, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Checklist+'s written reviews are positive against 71% of Make's.

Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Make every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
