# Jottacloud vs Icedrive

The clearest difference is rating: Jottacloud at 4.5 against Icedrive's 4.1. Jottacloud also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (68 vs 13). Icedrive's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jottacloud sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Icedrive sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jottacloud holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jottacloud has 68 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Jottacloud's written reviews are positive against 69% of Icedrive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Jottacloud ships an update fortnightly, Icedrive every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
