Cleanup Storage Space Cleaner also leads on ratings volume (79 vs 13) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.3). Smart Cleaner's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 9%).

Both are free to download. Smart Cleaner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days and Cleanup Storage Space Cleaner sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cleanup Storage Space Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleanup Storage Space Cleaner has 79 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.
