# Clear vs Five Tasks

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Five Tasks at none against Clear's 110. Five Tasks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Clear's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 16) and review sentiment (63% vs 50%). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clear sells 110 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Five Tasks asks for nothing beyond the download.

Five Tasks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clear has 5.2K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Clear's written reviews are positive against 50% of Five Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
