# Cleaner vs D

The clearest difference is rating: Cleaner at 4.1 against D's 2.8. Cleaner also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 12). D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (44% vs 28%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cleaner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and D sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleaner has 2.9K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Cleaner's written reviews are positive against 44% of D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cleaner ships an update fortnightly, D every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
