Both are free to download. Amaryllo Cloud sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Livedrive asks for nothing beyond the download.
Livedrive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Livedrive has 60 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Livedrive's written reviews are positive against 43% of Amaryllo Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Livedrive ships an update every 6 weeks, Amaryllo Cloud every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
