# Microsoft OneDrive vs DeNet

Microsoft OneDrive and DeNet both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of DeNet's written reviews are positive against 20% of Microsoft OneDrive's. Microsoft OneDrive's advantage is ratings volume (487K vs 1.5K) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft OneDrive sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and DeNet sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Microsoft OneDrive against 4.8 for DeNet. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft OneDrive has 487K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 20% of Microsoft OneDrive's written reviews are positive against 79% of DeNet's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
