# Data Transfer vs Share

The clearest difference is rating: Share at 4.6 against Data Transfer's 3.9. Share also leads on review sentiment (32% vs 19%). Data Transfer's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Data Transfer sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Share sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Share holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Transfer has 1.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of Data Transfer's written reviews are positive against 32% of Share's.

Data Transfer ships an update every 3 weeks, Share every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
