# Clay Jam vs POINPY

The clearest difference is ads: POINPY at none against Clay Jam's shown. POINPY also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Clay Jam's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 153). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clay Jam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and POINPY sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

POINPY holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clay Jam has 2.3K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Clay Jam's written reviews are positive against 95% of POINPY's.

Clay Jam ships an update every 2 months, POINPY every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
