# Lists To do vs Checklist

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lists To do at 95% against Checklist's 25%. Lists To do also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (106K vs 9). Checklist's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lists To do sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Checklist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lists To do holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lists To do has 106K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Lists To do's written reviews are positive against 25% of Checklist's.

Lists To do ships an update every 3 months, Checklist every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
