# SimpleLists vs This Order

The clearest difference is monetization model: SimpleLists at freemium against This Order's subscription. This Order's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SimpleLists sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month and This Order sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for SimpleLists against 5.0 for This Order. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: This Order has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

SimpleLists ships an update every 6 weeks, This Order every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
