# Checklist+ vs To Do List

The clearest difference is rating: To Do List at 5.0 against Checklist+'s 4.4. To Do List also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). Checklist+'s advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 6). 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 To Do List sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

To Do List holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, To Do List every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
