# Checklist+ vs Todo

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.

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.

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.

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