# Quick Cleaner vs Clean Master

The clearest difference is rating: Quick Cleaner at 4.7 against Clean Master's 3.8. Quick Cleaner also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Cleaner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Clean Master sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Cleaner has 11K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Quick Cleaner's written reviews are positive against 77% of Clean Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Quick Cleaner ships an update every 2 days, Clean Master every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
