# Clean Tune vs Sonic Wave

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sonic Wave at 100% against Clean Tune's 60%. Sonic Wave also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Clean Tune's advantage is ratings volume (8.8K vs 27). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clean Tune sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days and Sonic Wave sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sonic Wave holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clean Tune has 8.8K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Clean Tune's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sonic Wave's.

Clean Tune ships an update every 4 months, Sonic Wave fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
