Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Data Transfer at Free against SHAREit Pro's $2.99. Data Transfer also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 30%). SHAREit Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On rating, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
