# Panic Clean vs Nudge

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Panic Clean at 100% against Nudge's 55%. Nudge's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (22 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Panic Clean sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Nudge sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nudge holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nudge has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Panic Clean's written reviews are positive against 55% of Nudge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Panic Clean ships an update every 2 weeks, Nudge every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
