Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DataShredder at 4.1 against App's 3.0. DataShredder also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DataShredder holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DataShredder has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of App's written reviews are positive against 75% of DataShredder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
App ships an update every 23 months, DataShredder every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
