# Cleanify vs Scan

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cleanify at free with in-app purchases 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.

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.
