# CleanPad vs Stacklist

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CleanPad at none against Stacklist's 12. Stacklist's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stacklist sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month. CleanPad asks for nothing beyond the download.
