# ownCloud vs SendSafe

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SendSafe at 100% against ownCloud's 33%. SendSafe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). ownCloud's advantage is ratings volume (354 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ownCloud sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and SendSafe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SendSafe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ownCloud has 354 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of ownCloud's written reviews are positive against 100% of SendSafe's.
