# Smart Cleaner vs HelpDesk+

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Cleaner at 4.5 against HelpDesk+'s 2.7. Smart Cleaner also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 12) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). HelpDesk+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Cleaner sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. HelpDesk+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Cleaner has 3.4K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two.
