# Smart Transfer App vs Copy My Data

Smart Transfer App and Copy My Data both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 59% of Smart Transfer App's written reviews are positive against 21% of Copy My Data's. Smart Transfer App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Copy My Data's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 310). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Transfer App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Copy My Data sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Copy My Data holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 310 and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Smart Transfer App's written reviews are positive against 21% of Copy My Data's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart Transfer App ships an update monthly, Copy My Data fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
