# Data Transfer vs Copy my data

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.

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.

Data Transfer ships an update every 3 weeks, Copy my data every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
