With Disk Test, you can easily test your device's storage speed and also measure how fast your device will work with all types of external storage such as external drives, USB Flash Drives, memory cards, etc. This clever assistant will help you to effectively detect weak points in your workflow. Both your device and connected storage affect the speed of communication with the data storage. It's not just the technical specification of the storage itself that is important for proper function, but also how it is connected. In particular the quality of the cable used, the characteristics of the connected USB Hub, the parameters of the Hard Drive Enclosure, or even the Adapters used. The File System of your storage device is equally important in the process of achieving the maximum speed. All this can be a bottleneck for your daily work. With Disk Test by Magic Benchmark, copying larger data will never be a nightmare for you again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PerformanceTest Mobile at none against Disk Test by Magic Benchmark's 1. PerformanceTest Mobile also leads on ratings volume (56 vs 9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Disk Test by Magic Benchmark sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PerformanceTest Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.
PerformanceTest Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PerformanceTest Mobile has 56 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of PerformanceTest Mobile's written reviews are positive against 60% of Disk Test by Magic Benchmark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PerformanceTest Mobile ships an update every 6 weeks, Disk Test by Magic Benchmark every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
