# Cleaner X vs SoundClear

The clearest difference is ads: SoundClear at none against Cleaner X's shown. SoundClear also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Cleaner X's advantage is ratings volume (679 vs 4) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cleaner X sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and SoundClear sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SoundClear holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleaner X has 679 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cleaner X ships an update monthly, SoundClear every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
