Both are free to download. Facebook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Clapper sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Facebook against 4.6 for Clapper. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Facebook has 29M ratings behind it against 85K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of Facebook's written reviews are positive against 51% of Clapper's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Facebook ships an update weekly, Clapper every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
