# CloudMe vs OpenDrive

The clearest difference is rating: OpenDrive at 4.7 against CloudMe's 3.8. OpenDrive also leads on ratings volume (41 vs 8). CloudMe's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 15%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudMe sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and OpenDrive sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OpenDrive holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenDrive has 41 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of CloudMe's written reviews are positive against 15% of OpenDrive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudMe ships an update every 3 months, OpenDrive every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 25, 2026 respectively.
