# Spotless vs Clutterfree

The clearest difference is rating: Spotless at 4.5 against Clutterfree's 3.4. Spotless also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Clutterfree's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spotless sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Clutterfree sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spotless holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spotless has 1.3K ratings behind it against 108, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Spotless's written reviews are positive against 41% of Clutterfree's.

Spotless ships an update every 5 weeks, Clutterfree fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
