# Cleanify vs Vortex Cleaner

Vortex Cleaner's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cleanify sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Vortex Cleaner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vortex Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleanify has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
