Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ClearVu holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 59 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of WPS's written reviews are positive against 17% of ClearVu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WPS ships an update every 5 months, ClearVu every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
