Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ASUS GlideX at 92% against AirDisk's 12%. ASUS GlideX also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). AirDisk's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirDisk sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ASUS GlideX sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASUS GlideX has 2.3K ratings behind it against 143, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of AirDisk's written reviews are positive against 92% of ASUS GlideX's.
AirDisk ships an update every 9 days, ASUS GlideX every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
