This is the original To-Do and Task Management List and one of the most popular, powerful, and award-winning to-do list and task manager iOS and iPad apps ever! Todo has been used by millions of individuals, families and teams for GETTING THINGS DONE. "Todo has stood the test of time" -Silicon Slopes. Winner of the “Best Productivity App for iPad” (Best Apps Ever, To-Do Apps) and listed among the “Top Ten Paid Productivity Apps..." "Appigo Todo oozes with awesomeness. I’ve tried numerous iOS task-management apps, and none to date have satisfied me as much as Todo.” –Macworld, 4.5 stars. Four main reasons to consider Todo: 1. REAL PRODUCTIVITY. Unlike lightweight, freebie or cutesy list tools, Todo 10 is useful when you have a deadline, NEED to focus, prioritize and get things done quickly--from home or school projects to dozens of detailed work tasks. Includes: Projects, Sub-tasks, Start Dates, Due Dates, Recurring Tasks (with detailed recurring options), Multiple Task Alerts, Overdue Tasks, Drag and Drop, Search, Print Lists, Folders, and much more. 2. PROVEN GTD METHODOLOGY. Todo uses the popular Getting Things Done approach with Focus To-do Lists, Starred Tasks, Multi-level Priorities, Quick Entry, Context, and Projects with Layered and Prioritized Sub-Tasks—all recommended GTD approaches. 3. BUILT-IN SYNCING. Sync automatically in the background with Todo Cloud Sync. Keep everything in sync, access your data from any device and never be locked into a specific service—your data remains yours. 4. COOLNESS • Add, schedule, and organize your to-dos • Set due dates and reminders to never miss an important date or deadline • Quickly add tasks using Siri, Email or Todo Cloud’s Quick Add buttons • Streamline projects, checklists and tasks using customized Siri commands. • Customize task reminders based on day (January 1), time (2:00pm) and place (when you are near the grocery store) • Create themed lists to organize your to-dos: home, work, friends, etc. • Take control of how you view and execute your to-dos with Todo Smart Lists • Collaborate with friends, family and/or team members using Shared Lists • Leave yourself (or others) updates through in-task notes and comments • Create recurring tasks for those to-dos that come over and over again • Sync your to-dos across all your devices 14 day FREE trial!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Checklist+ at free with in-app purchases against Todo's subscription. Checklist+ also leads on ratings volume (7.9K vs 399) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). Todo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Checklist+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Todo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Checklist+ against 4.4 for Todo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist+ has 7.9K ratings behind it against 399, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Checklist+'s written reviews are positive against 48% of Todo's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Checklist+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Todo every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
