# Phone Cleaner vs Stealth Shield

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stealth Shield at 100% against Phone Cleaner's 18%. Stealth Shield also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7). Phone Cleaner's advantage is ratings volume (100 vs 5) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phone Cleaner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days and Stealth Shield sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
