Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AirDisk at 4.1 against Free Disk's 1.7. AirDisk also leads on ratings volume (143 vs 3) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). Free Disk's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 12%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirDisk sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Free Disk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AirDisk holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirDisk has 143 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of AirDisk's written reviews are positive against 50% of Free Disk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AirDisk ships an update every 9 days, Free Disk every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
