# AirWeb vs Clean Text

The clearest difference is rating: AirWeb at 5.0 against Clean Text's 4.6. AirWeb also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Clean Text's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 41%) and ratings volume (205 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirWeb sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Clean Text sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AirWeb holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clean Text has 205 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of AirWeb's written reviews are positive against 60% of Clean Text's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AirWeb ships an update every 5 weeks, Clean Text every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
