# AppCleaner vs CalendarPunch

The clearest difference is rating: CalendarPunch at 5.0 against AppCleaner's 4.4. CalendarPunch also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 16 months). AppCleaner's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppCleaner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and CalendarPunch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CalendarPunch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppCleaner has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AppCleaner ships an update every 16 months, CalendarPunch every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
