Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dirtfree at 4.2 against Clutterfree's 3.4. Dirtfree also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Clutterfree sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Dirtfree sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dirtfree holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 107 and 117 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Clutterfree's written reviews are positive against 39% of Dirtfree's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Clutterfree ships an update fortnightly, Dirtfree every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
