Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cloudy at 3.5 against Full Screen for Safari's 2.4. Cloudy also leads on ratings volume (342 vs 5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Full Screen for Safari's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cloudy holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloudy has 342 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Full Screen for Safari's written reviews are positive against 46% of Cloudy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Full Screen for Safari ships an update every 6 days, Cloudy weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
