# Data Transfer vs Quick Share

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quick Share at none against Data Transfer's 16. Data Transfer's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, 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. Quick Share asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.9 for Data Transfer against 4.0 for Quick Share. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Transfer has 1.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Data Transfer ships an update every 3 weeks, Quick Share every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
