# Data Transfer vs Clone Phone

The clearest difference is rating: Data Transfer at 3.9 against Clone Phone's 2.7. Data Transfer also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 25). Clone Phone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and review sentiment (28% vs 19%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Data Transfer sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Clone Phone asks for nothing beyond the download.

Data Transfer holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Transfer has 1.1K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Data Transfer's written reviews are positive against 28% of Clone Phone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Data Transfer ships an update every 3 weeks, Clone Phone every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
