Swipe Clean Free vs. Premium: The Daily Limit, Videos, Vault and Plans

The problem

Cleaner apps are notorious. Some show a scary “25 GB of junk” screen and then hide the list behind a weekly subscription. Others let you delete a little and quietly stop. You want to know what’s free before you spend an evening on it.

What’s free

• Scanning, with a full list of what it found
• Reviewing in swipe mode or the grid, with previews
• Contacts cleanup: duplicates and incomplete entries
• System info and the widgets
• The companion, streaks and some charging characters (Volt, Pulse and Orbit)
• One cleanup a day, of up to 50 MB

What the free limit means in practice

The limit is on deleting, not looking:

• You get one cleanup session per day.
• A session can delete up to 50 MB.
• If your selection is over 50 MB, the app doesn’t delete part of it. It asks you to upgrade, so pick a smaller batch to stay free.
• Once you’ve used your free cleanup, the next one waits until tomorrow.

Fifty megabytes is a few dozen photos, not a big cleanup. It’s enough to see how the app works, not to fix a full phone.

What Premium adds

• Unlimited photo and video deletion
• Video compression
• Secret Vault
• All charging characters

Plans are a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription (shown as best value, often with a free trial for new subscribers) or a lifetime purchase, pay once and keep it.

Which should you pick?

• One big cleanup to get out of trouble: compare the weekly, yearly and lifetime prices in the app, and pick the lifetime purchase if you don’t want anything to renew.
• Want to try first: use the free plan or a trial. Everything but the volume of deleting and the Premium-only tools works.
• Only need contacts or the widgets: free is enough.

Before you pay

Run the scan. The Home screen shows how much is “ready to clean”. If it’s small, you don’t need to buy anything.
