# Google Chrome vs Data Transfer

The clearest difference is rating: Google Chrome at 4.7 against Data Transfer's 3.9. Google Chrome also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 19%) and ratings volume (3.9M vs 1.1K). Data Transfer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Data Transfer sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Google Chrome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 19% of Data Transfer's.

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Data Transfer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
