# Rainbow vs Cloud Storage

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cloud Storage at 75% against Rainbow's 20%. Cloud Storage also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 5). Rainbow's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rainbow sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Cloud Storage sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cloud Storage holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud Storage has 1.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Rainbow's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cloud Storage's.

Rainbow ships an update every 2 months, Cloud Storage every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
