# Cleaner vs Quick Scan

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quick Scan at none against Cleaner's 10. Quick Scan also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Cleaner's advantage is ratings volume (212 vs 42). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cleaner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Quick Scan asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Cleaner against 4.7 for Quick Scan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleaner has 212 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Cleaner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Quick Scan's.

Cleaner ships an update fortnightly, Quick Scan every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
