Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 1&1 Cloud at 96% against IONOS's 32%. 1&1 Cloud also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). IONOS's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (15K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IONOS holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IONOS has 15K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of 1&1 Cloud's written reviews are positive against 32% of IONOS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
1&1 Cloud ships an update fortnightly, IONOS monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
