Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ANIMORE at none against Safari Checklist's 10. ANIMORE also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Safari Checklist's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
