Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SELECT Card at 4.9 against InList's 4.3. SELECT Card also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 17). InList's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SELECT Card holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SELECT Card has 1.1K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of SELECT Card'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SELECT Card ships an update fortnightly, InList every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
