Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
myFirstech holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of myFirstech's written reviews are positive against 33% of DirectLoader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
myFirstech ships an update every 6 weeks, DirectLoader every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
