# Backyard Master vs Clean It

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Backyard Master at 52% against Clean It's 34%. Clean It's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backyard Master sells 21 one-off in-app purchases and Clean It sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clean It holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 61K and 28K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Backyard Master's written reviews are positive against 34% of Clean It's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Backyard Master ships an update every 4 weeks, Clean It fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
