Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ClayMade at 3.8 against Pottery Tracker's 2.2. ClayMade also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (62 vs 12). Pottery Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ClayMade holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClayMade has 62 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pottery Tracker's written reviews are positive against 71% of ClayMade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pottery Tracker ships an update monthly, ClayMade every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
