Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cleanify at freemium against Scan's subscription. Scan's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Cleanify sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Scan sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cleanify holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 77 and 243 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Cleanify's written reviews are positive against 100% of Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cleanify ships an update every 3 weeks, Scan every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
