# Data Transfer vs Quick Start

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Data Transfer at 1.1K against Quick Start's 146. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Data Transfer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Quick Start sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.9 for Data Transfer against 3.8 for Quick Start. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Transfer has 1.1K ratings behind it against 146, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 19% of Data Transfer's written reviews are positive against 17% of Quick Start's.

Data Transfer ships an update every 3 weeks, Quick Start monthly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
