# ClearSpace vs Study852

The clearest difference is ads: Study852 at none against ClearSpace's shown. Study852 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ClearSpace's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ClearSpace sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Study852 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Study852 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClearSpace has 9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
