# Assay vs Swipe Clean Phone

The clearest difference is rating: Swipe Clean Phone at 5.0 against Assay's 4.3. Swipe Clean Phone also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Assay's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Assay sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Swipe Clean Phone sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Swipe Clean Phone holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Assay has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Assay's written reviews are positive against 100% of Swipe Clean Phone's.

Assay ships an update every 3 weeks, Swipe Clean Phone every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
