# AdBlocker vs BetterClean

AdBlocker and BetterClean both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of BetterClean's written reviews are positive against 11% of AdBlocker's. BetterClean also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). AdBlocker's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 24). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AdBlocker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and BetterClean sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for AdBlocker against 4.6 for BetterClean. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AdBlocker has 127 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 11% of AdBlocker's written reviews are positive against 50% of BetterClean's.

AdBlocker ships an update every 4 months, BetterClean every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
