# Data Transfer vs Quick Share

The clearest difference is rating: Data Transfer at 3.9 against Quick Share's 3.3. Data Transfer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 67). 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 Quick Share sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Data Transfer holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Transfer has 1.1K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Data Transfer's written reviews are positive against 25% of Quick Share's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
