Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Google Chrome at 4.7 against iTransfer's 4.1. Google Chrome also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (3.9M vs 214). iTransfer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTransfer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Google Chrome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 214, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of iTransfer's written reviews are positive against 61% of Google Chrome's.
iTransfer ships an update every 4 months, Google Chrome weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
