Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nova Cleaner at none against Web Shield's shown. Nova Cleaner also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (50 vs 7). Web Shield's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nova Cleaner sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Web Shield sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Web Shield holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nova Cleaner has 50 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Nova Cleaner ships an update every 3 months, Web Shield every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
