# Boosty vs Quick Cleaner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quick Cleaner at 76% against Boosty's 28%. Quick Cleaner also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.7 vs 4.2). Boosty's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boosty sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Quick Cleaner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quick Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Cleaner has 11K ratings behind it against 641, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of Boosty's written reviews are positive against 76% of Quick Cleaner's.

Boosty ships an update weekly, Quick Cleaner every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
