# AirDisk vs ASUS GlideX

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.

ASUS GlideX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. 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 25, 2026 respectively.
