Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: InList at 4.3 against Tablelist's 3.1. Tablelist's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
InList holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 40 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Tablelist's written reviews are positive against 76% of InList's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
