Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: IQ Evolve at none against Clever's shown. IQ Evolve also leads on chart position (#6 vs #120). Clever's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 55%) and ratings volume (45K vs 4.2K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Clever sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and IQ Evolve sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Clever against 4.6 for IQ Evolve. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clever has 45K ratings behind it against 4.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Clever's written reviews are positive against 55% of IQ Evolve's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clever ships an update every 5 days, IQ Evolve every 11 days. Both last shipped on November 15, 2026.
