# Storage Clean Up vs CleanApp Pro

The clearest difference is monetization model: Storage Clean Up at freemium against CleanApp Pro's subscription. Storage Clean Up also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (401 vs 70). CleanApp Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (70% vs 53%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Storage Clean Up sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and CleanApp Pro sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Storage Clean Up holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Storage Clean Up has 401 ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Storage Clean Up's written reviews are positive against 70% of CleanApp Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Storage Clean Up ships an update weekly, CleanApp Pro every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
