# cClip vs Nova

The clearest difference is monetization model: cClip at free with in-app purchases against Nova's subscription. cClip also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (4 vs 2). Nova's advantage is ratings volume (277 vs 8) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. cClip sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Nova sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

cClip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nova has 277 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of cClip's written reviews are positive against 75% of Nova's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

cClip ships an update every 8 days, Nova weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
