# Data Transfer vs Phone Transfer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Phone Transfer at none against Data Transfer's 16. Phone Transfer also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Data Transfer's advantage is review sentiment (19% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, 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. Phone Transfer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Phone Transfer holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.1K and 1.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Data Transfer's written reviews are positive against 0% of Phone Transfer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
