How we grade them
| 2.6GPACheckliGood | 3.2GPAChecklistVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $29 a month, Team $49 and Business $99. Its listed rivals charge a few dollars. And the part managers want most, one view of every run with who checked each step, is Business only. The pricing page doesn't say if prices are per user. | BChecklist Plus is $5.99 a month or $39.99 a year on the US App Store, and Family is $11.99 or $79.99. The yearly Plus price is about typical for a to-do app. The listing doesn't itemise what Plus adds, so it stays a B. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree with no credit card, but it holds just 2 checklists. You do get sections, folders, process runs and a read-only link. Guest links, reminders and exports all need Pro. | BThe apps are free to download and use. But the store listings don't say where the free version stops, so we can't tell you how far you'll get. The web app does offer 14 days of Pro with no credit card. |
| Features | BMaster checklists with separate runs, guest links for people without accounts, a template library and scheduled email reminders. It does repeat procedures well. But reminders only email the checklist's owner, not the person doing the run. | BPublic templates, builders for groceries and packing with aisle-based categories, a guided mode for when order matters, and routines that schedule and track themselves. Lists share with family or a team. It's a checklist app first, though, so don't expect a project planner. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating is on record, as there's no app. It runs in the browser with nothing to install, and a guest can tick off a run from a link without signing up. That's about as low-effort as handing over a clipboard. | BWe have no App Store rating on record for it, so a B is as high as we go. Starting from a template or a builder means you rarely face a blank page, and the app suggests tasks as you type. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. The site lists no mobile or desktop apps and no integrations, so on a phone it's the browser. You can embed a checklist and export to CSV or PDF on Pro. | AiPhone, iPad, Android and a web app, and you can plan a checklist in ChatGPT or Claude and save it across. No native Mac or Windows app, so on a computer it's the browser. |
| Best for | checklists a team runs again and again | routines you follow one step at a time |

- On Pro, a reminder emails the checklist owner on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule or once on a custom date, with a link back to the checklist.
- Team assignment and run records
- Team adds a workspace and starting a process for a teammate. Business lists open and finished runs and records who checked each step and when.
