# Smart Switch vs Copy My Data

The clearest difference is rating: Copy My Data at 4.2 against Smart Switch's 3.1. Copy My Data also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (25% vs 8%). Smart Switch's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Switch sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Copy My Data sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Copy My Data holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Copy My Data has 2.6K ratings behind it against 242, so its average is the more settled of the two.
