Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 22 Clues at 90% against Easy Clues's 33%. 22 Clues also leads on ratings volume (731 vs 20) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Easy Clues's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Easy Clues holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 22 Clues has 731 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of 22 Clues's written reviews are positive against 33% of Easy Clues's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

22 Clues ships an update every 2 months, Easy Clues daily. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
