# DigiSlate vs Clapper!

The clearest difference is rating: Clapper! at 4.8 against DigiSlate's 3.9. Clapper! also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%). DigiSlate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DigiSlate sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Clapper! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clapper! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DigiSlate has 48 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of DigiSlate's written reviews are positive against 100% of Clapper!'s.

DigiSlate ships an update monthly, Clapper! every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on August 10, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
