Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Locals.com at 42K against ClavaNet's 1. Locals.com also leads on chart position (#121 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). ClavaNet's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Locals.com sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and ClavaNet sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.95 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ClavaNet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Locals.com has 42K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Locals.com ships an update every 4 weeks, ClavaNet every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
