# Phone Cleaner vs Gallery Glide

The clearest difference is rating: Gallery Glide at 5.0 against Phone Cleaner's 4.4. Gallery Glide also leads on ads (none vs shown). Phone Cleaner's advantage is ratings volume (378 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phone Cleaner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Gallery Glide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gallery Glide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phone Cleaner has 378 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
