# Clean OSC vs Source Files

The clearest difference is price: Source Files at Free against Clean OSC's $4.99. Source Files also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Clean OSC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and chart position (#26 vs #142). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Source Files is free to download; Clean OSC costs $4.99 up front. Source Files sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Clean OSC asks for nothing beyond the download.

Source Files holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Source Files has 30 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Clean OSC's written reviews are positive against 75% of Source Files's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clean OSC ships an update every 2 months, Source Files weekly. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
