# Delete Contacts+ vs Cleaner

The clearest difference is ads: Delete Contacts+ at none against Cleaner's shown. Delete Contacts+ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 1). Cleaner's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Delete Contacts+ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Cleaner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Delete Contacts+ has 35K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Delete Contacts+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Cleaner's.

Delete Contacts+ ships an update every 2 months, Cleaner every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
