Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Packing List at every 5 days against Packo's every 5 weeks. Packing List also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (89 vs 12). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Packing List sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Packo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Packing List holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Packing List has 89 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Packing List's written reviews are positive against 67% of Packo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Packing List ships an update every 5 days, Packo every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
