# AJCloud vs ViewLink

The clearest difference is ads: ViewLink at none against AJCloud's shown. ViewLink also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). AJCloud's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (28% vs 0%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ViewLink holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AJCloud has 7.1K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of AJCloud's written reviews are positive against 0% of ViewLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AJCloud ships an update every 2 weeks, ViewLink every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
