Ever wanted to share something without also sharing it with Google or Dropbox? Tax documents, medical information, or unpublished research? Share files directly and securely without the middlemen. Your Private Productivity Suite.. In Your Pocket! Share files and host websites right from your phone, all over Tor Onion Services, built by the developers who created Orbot, Briar, Onion Browser and CalyxOS! What OnionShare protects against Third parties don’t have access to anything that happens in OnionShare. Using OnionShare means hosting services directly on your computer. When sharing your files with OnionShare, they are not uploaded to any third-party server. This avoids the traditional model of having to trust the computers of others. Network eavesdroppers can’t spy on anything that happens in OnionShare in transit. The connection between the Tor onion service and Tor Browser is end-to-end encrypted. This means network attackers can’t eavesdrop on anything except encrypted Tor traffic. Even if an eavesdropper is a malicious rendezvous node used to connect the Tor Browser with OnionShare’s onion service, the traffic is encrypted using the onion service’s private key. Anonymity of OnionShare users are protected by Tor. OnionShare and Tor Browser protect the anonymity of the users. As long as the OnionShare user anonymously communicates the OnionShare address with the Tor Browser users, the Tor Browser users and eavesdroppers can’t learn the identity of the OnionShare user. If an attacker learns about the onion service, they still can’t access anything. Prior attacks against the Tor network to enumerate onion services allowed attackers to discover private .onion addresses. To access an OnionShare service from its address, the private key used for client authentication must be guessed (unless the service is already made public by turning off the private key – see Turn Off Private Key).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Raivo at 4.4 against OnionShare's 3.8. Raivo also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (181 vs 5). OnionShare's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (56% vs 36%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Raivo sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. OnionShare asks for nothing beyond the download.
Raivo holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raivo has 181 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Raivo's written reviews are positive against 56% of OnionShare's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Raivo ships an update every 10 days, OnionShare every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
