Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: GlazeShare at free with in-app purchases against ClayShare's subscription. GlazeShare also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). ClayShare's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (678 vs 27). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ClayShare sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and GlazeShare sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for ClayShare against 4.9 for GlazeShare. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClayShare has 678 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 99% of ClayShare's written reviews are positive against 100% of GlazeShare's.
ClayShare ships an update monthly, GlazeShare every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
