# Facebook vs Clapper

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Facebook at 29M against Clapper's 85K. Facebook also leads on chart position (#2 vs #6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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.

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.

Facebook ships an update weekly, Clapper every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
