Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Google Assistant at 4.7 against Data Transfer's 3.9. Google Assistant also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and review sentiment (47% vs 19%). Data Transfer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
