Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: 青子记账 at free with in-app purchases against ClearCashflow's subscription. 青子记账 also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). ClearCashflow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ClearCashflow sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and 青子记账 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

青子记账 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 青子记账 has 490 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of ClearCashflow's written reviews are positive against 87% of 青子记账's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ClearCashflow ships an update every 2 months, 青子记账 every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
