Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lista at 3.7 against Recall's 2.7. Recall's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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. Lista sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Recall sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lista holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Lista's written reviews are positive against 40% of Recall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lista ships an update weekly, Recall daily. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
