# Evolve vs Checklist

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Checklist at 75% against Evolve's 0%. Checklist also leads on rating (4.2 vs 1.0) and monetization model (free vs subscription). Evolve's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evolve sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Checklist sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Checklist holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Evolve's written reviews are positive against 75% of Checklist's.

Evolve ships an update every 2 days, Checklist every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
