# Checklist+ vs Be Present

The clearest difference is ads: Be Present at none against Checklist+'s shown. Be Present also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Checklist+'s advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 102). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Be Present sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Be Present 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 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Checklist+'s written reviews are positive against 78% of Be Present's.

Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Be Present fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
