# Storage Cleaner vs Encryptor

The clearest difference is monetization model: Storage Cleaner at free with in-app purchases against Encryptor's subscription. Storage Cleaner also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (214 vs 29). Encryptor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (57% vs 38%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Storage Cleaner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Encryptor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Storage Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Storage Cleaner has 214 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Storage Cleaner's written reviews are positive against 57% of Encryptor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Storage Cleaner ships an update every 2 weeks, Encryptor fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
