Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clear Minds at 62% against Refuse's 17%. Clear Minds also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 1). Refuse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clear Minds sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $12.95 per month. Refuse asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Refuse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clear Minds has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Clear Minds's written reviews are positive against 17% of Refuse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clear Minds ships an update every 11 days, Refuse fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
