# CheckBox vs ListWatch

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CheckBox at none against ListWatch's 1. CheckBox also leads on review sentiment (17% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). ListWatch's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ListWatch sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. CheckBox asks for nothing beyond the download.

CheckBox ships an update every 4 months, ListWatch every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
