Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Icedrive at 69% against Internxt's 24%. Icedrive also leads on rating (4.1 vs 2.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Internxt's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (79 vs 13). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
