# SmartClean vs ZooZip

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ZooZip at 87% against SmartClean's 50%. ZooZip also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (488 vs 24). SmartClean's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartClean sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days and ZooZip sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ZooZip holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZooZip has 488 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of SmartClean's written reviews are positive against 87% of ZooZip's.

SmartClean ships an update monthly, ZooZip every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
