# Simple Transfer vs PixelSmith

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PixelSmith at 100% against Simple Transfer's 69%. PixelSmith also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Simple Transfer's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Transfer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and PixelSmith sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PixelSmith holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Transfer has 16K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Simple Transfer's written reviews are positive against 100% of PixelSmith's.
