# CCleaner vs GyLog

The clearest difference is rating: CCleaner at 4.6 against GyLog's 1.0. CCleaner also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 1). GyLog's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CCleaner sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and GyLog sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CCleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CCleaner has 3.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
