Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hense at Free against Simple Checklist's $2.99. Hense also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). Simple Checklist's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
