Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pocket Rogues at none against Project Clean Earth's shown. Pocket Rogues also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Rogues sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Project Clean Earth sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Project Clean Earth holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1K and 1.9K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Pocket Rogues's written reviews are positive against 47% of Project Clean Earth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pocket Rogues ships an update every 5 weeks, Project Clean Earth every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
