# Disc Pop! vs Sand Clear

The clearest difference is rating: Sand Clear at 4.7 against Disc Pop!'s 4.1. Sand Clear also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Disc Pop! sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Sand Clear sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sand Clear holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 94 and 243 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Disc Pop!'s written reviews are positive against 14% of Sand Clear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
