# Clear Wave vs Speaker Cleaner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clear Wave at 74% against Speaker Cleaner's 17%. Clear Wave also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Speaker Cleaner's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clear Wave sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Speaker Cleaner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clear Wave holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clear Wave has 36K ratings behind it against 4.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Clear Wave's written reviews are positive against 17% of Speaker Cleaner's.

Clear Wave ships an update every 3 weeks, Speaker Cleaner weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
