# Top Scanner vs Cleaner

The clearest difference is rating: Top Scanner at 5.0 against Cleaner's 4.6. Top Scanner also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Cleaner's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (582 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Top Scanner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Cleaner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Top Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleaner has 582 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Top Scanner ships an update every 2 months, Cleaner every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
