Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MyQNAP at 68% against Mi's 23%. Mi's advantage is rating (2.4 vs 1.7) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mi holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Mi's written reviews are positive against 68% of MyQNAP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mi ships an update every 6 weeks, MyQNAP every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
