# Clutterfree vs 5 STEPS a Day

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 5 STEPS a Day at 100% against Clutterfree's 42%. 5 STEPS a Day also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Clutterfree's advantage is ratings volume (97 vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clutterfree sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 5 STEPS a Day sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

5 STEPS a Day holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clutterfree has 97 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Clutterfree's written reviews are positive against 100% of 5 STEPS a Day's.

Clutterfree ships an update fortnightly, 5 STEPS a Day every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
