Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: ClickShare at free against FortiClient's freemium. ClickShare also leads on rating (3.2 vs 2.9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). FortiClient's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 15). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ClickShare holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FortiClient has 102 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of ClickShare's written reviews are positive against 17% of FortiClient's.
ClickShare ships an update every 3 months, FortiClient every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
