# Boost Cleaner vs Smart Privacy

Boost Cleaner and Smart Privacy both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Smart Privacy's written reviews are positive against 36% of Boost Cleaner's. Smart Privacy also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Boost Cleaner's advantage is chart position (#187 vs unranked) and ratings volume (361 vs 69). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boost Cleaner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 — 4.2 for Boost Cleaner against 4.4 for Smart Privacy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boost Cleaner has 361 ratings behind it against 69, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 36% of Boost Cleaner's written reviews are positive against 67% of Smart Privacy's.

Boost Cleaner ships an update fortnightly, Smart Privacy weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
