# Cloud Indeed vs S3 Client

The clearest difference is review sentiment: S3 Client at 79% against Cloud Indeed's 33%. S3 Client also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). Cloud Indeed's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloud Indeed sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and S3 Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

S3 Client holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: S3 Client has 56 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Cloud Indeed's written reviews are positive against 79% of S3 Client's.

Cloud Indeed ships an update every 6 weeks, S3 Client every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
