# Phone Drive Pro vs uDisk

The clearest difference is price: uDisk at Free against Phone Drive Pro's $4.99. uDisk also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Phone Drive Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

uDisk is free to download; Phone Drive Pro costs $4.99 up front. Phone Drive Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and uDisk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Phone Drive Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phone Drive Pro has 2.3K ratings behind it against 233, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Phone Drive Pro's written reviews are positive against 84% of uDisk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Phone Drive Pro ships an update fortnightly, uDisk every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
