Before you open a distracting app, choose why you are going in, set a time limit, and let Mivo guide you back out when the timer ends.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mivo Scrolling at none against ClearSpace's 7. Mivo Scrolling also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (89% vs 69%). ClearSpace's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (9K vs 11). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ClearSpace sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Mivo Scrolling asks for nothing beyond the download.
ClearSpace holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClearSpace has 9K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of ClearSpace's written reviews are positive against 89% of Mivo Scrolling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
