# Clever AI vs ColdTrace

The clearest difference is rating: ColdTrace at 4.8 against Clever AI's 4.3. ColdTrace also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 8) and chart position (#83 vs unranked). Clever AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) 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. Clever AI sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and ColdTrace sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ColdTrace holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColdTrace has 6.4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Clever AI ships an update every 9 days, ColdTrace every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
