Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: bObsweep at 57% against Clorox Pool's 14%. bObsweep also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Clorox Pool's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (29K vs 466). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clorox Pool holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clorox Pool has 29K ratings behind it against 466, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Clorox Pool's written reviews are positive against 57% of bObsweep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clorox Pool ships an update every 2 months, bObsweep monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
