# ClearSpace vs Tend+

The clearest difference is ads: Tend+ at none against ClearSpace's shown. Tend+ also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 69%) and device support (3 vs 1). ClearSpace's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 9). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ClearSpace sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Tend+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ClearSpace holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClearSpace has 9K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of ClearSpace's written reviews are positive against 83% of Tend+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ClearSpace ships an update every 2 weeks, Tend+ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
