Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PayRange at none against CleanPay Mobile's shown. PayRange also leads on ratings volume (221K vs 11K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). CleanPay Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PayRange holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PayRange has 221K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of PayRange's written reviews are positive against 33% of CleanPay Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PayRange ships an update every 2 months, CleanPay Mobile monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
