# Phone Security vs Quick Cleaner

The clearest difference is monetization model: Quick Cleaner at free with in-app purchases against Phone Security's subscription. Quick Cleaner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 64%). Phone Security's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 99) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phone Security sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Quick Cleaner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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 — 4.6 for Phone Security against 4.5 for Quick Cleaner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phone Security has 3.3K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Phone Security's written reviews are positive against 75% of Quick Cleaner's.
