# CleanLess vs Cleanli

Both are free to download. CleanLess sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Cleanli sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.7 for CleanLess against 3.6 for Cleanli. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleanli has 67 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
