Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clay Box at 71% against WhatStick's 0%. Clay Box also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 35 months). WhatStick's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.4). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WhatStick holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clay Box has 41 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Clay Box's written reviews are positive against 0% of WhatStick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clay Box ships an update every 2 months, WhatStick every 35 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
