Ubucleaner is a simplistic, non-user-friendly shell script that runs some simple apt commands and deletes trash folders with no user interaction. It runs three fixed aptitude commands and removes some folders - and that's it.
Cruft-cleaner is targeted to less technically-oriented users uncomfortable with the command line, has a user interface, and lets users make decisions on which packages are removed. It goes further than simply telling apt to clean up its cache and purge old configuration.
One is a five minute hack for power users, and the other is aiming to be a useful tool for everyone.
