# Checklist+ vs TabChecklists

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Checklist+ at 51% against TabChecklists's 0%. Checklist+ also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (7.9K vs 1). TabChecklists's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). 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 TabChecklists sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Checklist+ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 1, 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 0% of TabChecklists's.

Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, TabChecklists every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
