# Device Settings vs RapidClear

The clearest difference is ads: RapidClear at none against Device Settings's shown. RapidClear also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). Device Settings's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 41%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Device Settings sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and RapidClear sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RapidClear holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 1.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Device Settings's written reviews are positive against 41% of RapidClear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Device Settings ships an update every 4 weeks, RapidClear every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
