# MASH Touch vs Clue

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MASH Touch at none against Clue's 27. MASH Touch also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 59%) and price ($0.99 vs $4.99). Clue's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). On update cadence, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

MASH Touch costs $0.99 and Clue $4.99 up front. Clue sells 26 one-off in-app purchases. MASH Touch asks for nothing beyond the download.

MASH Touch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clue has 4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of MASH Touch's written reviews are positive against 59% of Clue's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
