# Google Drive vs AppToCloud

The clearest difference is rating: Google Drive at 4.8 against AppToCloud's 3.9. Google Drive also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Drive sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and AppToCloud sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Google Drive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Drive has 7.8M ratings behind it against 725, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Google Drive's written reviews are positive against 48% of AppToCloud's.

Google Drive ships an update weekly, AppToCloud every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
