Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Copy my data at 4.8 against Data Transfer's 3.9. Copy my data also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Data Transfer's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 4) and review sentiment (19% vs 4%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Data Transfer sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Copy my data sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Copy my data holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Transfer has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Data Transfer's written reviews are positive against 4% of Copy my data's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Data Transfer ships an update every 3 weeks, Copy my data every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
