# Clear Wave vs Clean Wave

The clearest difference is monetization model: Clean Wave at freemium against Clear Wave's subscription. Clean Wave also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Clear Wave's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clear Wave sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Clean Wave sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
