# Clutterfree vs 1000 Hours

The clearest difference is monetization model: 1000 Hours at free with in-app purchases against Clutterfree's subscription. 1000 Hours also leads on ads (none vs shown). Clutterfree's advantage is rating (3.6 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (97 vs 18). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clutterfree sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 1000 Hours sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clutterfree holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clutterfree has 97 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 42% and 42% positive.

Clutterfree ships an update fortnightly, 1000 Hours every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 17, 2026 and June 22, 2026 respectively.
