# CleanCore vs MicLabs

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CleanCore at 100% against MicLabs's 0%. CleanCore also leads on ratings volume (103 vs 13). MicLabs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CleanCore sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days and MicLabs sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MicLabs holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CleanCore has 103 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CleanCore's written reviews are positive against 0% of MicLabs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CleanCore ships an update every 2 months, MicLabs every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
