# Data Transfer vs File Transfer・Share my Data

The clearest difference is rating: Data Transfer at 3.9 against File Transfer・Share my Data's 3.0. Data Transfer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 26). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Data Transfer sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and File Transfer・Share my Data sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Data Transfer holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Transfer has 1.1K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Data Transfer's written reviews are positive against 23% of File Transfer・Share my Data'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, File Transfer・Share my Data monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
