# Unscrambler vs Smart Cleaner

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Unscrambler at none against Smart Cleaner's 7. Unscrambler also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Smart Cleaner's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 19) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Cleaner sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Unscrambler asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Unscrambler against 4.6 for Smart Cleaner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Cleaner has 3K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Unscrambler's written reviews are positive against 46% of Smart Cleaner's.

Unscrambler ships an update every 2 months, Smart Cleaner fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
