Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Basic Checklist at none against Checklist+'s 3. Basic Checklist also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 51%). Checklist+'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (7.9K vs 21). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Basic Checklist asks for nothing beyond the download.
Checklist+ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Checklist+'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Basic Checklist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Basic Checklist every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
