# DeepClean vs CleanShield

The clearest difference is rating: CleanShield at 5.0 against DeepClean's 4.4. CleanShield also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). DeepClean's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DeepClean sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and CleanShield sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CleanShield holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DeepClean has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DeepClean ships an update fortnightly, CleanShield every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
