Both are free to download. DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and Bit Buddy sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bit Buddy has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bit Buddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk ships an update monthly, Bit Buddy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
