# Hoop vs Cleanrows

The clearest difference is ads: Cleanrows at none against Hoop's shown. Hoop's advantage is chart position (#158 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hoop sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Cleanrows sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
