# iTransfer vs Bluetooth

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iTransfer at 52% against Bluetooth's 0%. iTransfer also leads on rating (4.1 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (215 vs 20). Bluetooth's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTransfer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Bluetooth asks for nothing beyond the download.

iTransfer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTransfer has 215 ratings behind it against 20, 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 0% of Bluetooth's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
