# Easy Cleaner vs Clean Master

The clearest difference is rating: Easy Cleaner at 4.6 against Clean Master's 3.8. Easy Cleaner also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 48). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Cleaner sells 3 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.

Easy Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Cleaner has 5.5K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Easy 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.

Easy Cleaner ships an update every 4 weeks, Clean Master every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
