# USB Disk vs FSharing

The clearest difference is price: FSharing at Free against USB Disk's $0.99. FSharing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). USB Disk's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

FSharing is free to download; USB Disk costs $0.99 up front. USB Disk sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and FSharing sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

USB Disk holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FSharing has 884 ratings behind it against 160, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of USB Disk's written reviews are positive against 76% of FSharing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

USB Disk ships an update every 3 months, FSharing weekly. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
