# RapidClear vs Smart Privacy

The clearest difference is ads: RapidClear at none against Smart Privacy's shown. RapidClear also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 67) and chart position (#149 vs unranked). Smart Privacy's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 41%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RapidClear sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Smart Privacy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 — 4.4 for RapidClear against 4.4 for Smart Privacy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RapidClear has 1.4K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of RapidClear's written reviews are positive against 67% of Smart Privacy's.

RapidClear ships an update every 2 weeks, Smart Privacy weekly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
