# Checklist+ vs SleepScout®

The clearest difference is ads: SleepScout® at none against Checklist+'s shown. SleepScout® also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Checklist+'s advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 88) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, 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 SleepScout® sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Checklist+ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.

Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, SleepScout® every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
