# SunScore vs Clefs

The clearest difference is rating: Clefs at 5.0 against SunScore's 3.9. Clefs also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). SunScore's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SunScore sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Clefs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clefs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SunScore has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SunScore ships an update every 5 days, Clefs weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
