# Smart Transfer App vs Share

Smart Transfer App and Share both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 59% of Smart Transfer App's written reviews are positive against 32% of Share's. Smart Transfer App also leads on ratings volume (310 vs 5). Share's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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 Share sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Share holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Transfer App has 310 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Smart Transfer App's written reviews are positive against 32% of Share'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, Share every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
