# Smart switch vs Copy My Data

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart switch at 75% against Copy My Data's 21%. Smart switch also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Copy My Data's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart switch sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Copy My Data sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Copy My Data holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Copy My Data has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Smart switch's written reviews are positive against 21% of Copy My Data's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart switch ships an update every 2 weeks, Copy My Data fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
