Ferry moves your photos and videos between phones the way they should move: full quality, over your own Wi-Fi, with nothing uploaded to a server. Pick the photos and videos you want, scan a QR code, and they transfer directly between the two phones on the same network. Received media lands straight in your Photos library, and the original location and capture date come along for the ride. HOW IT WORKS - Put both phones on the same Wi-Fi. - Open Ferry, tap Start, and scan the QR code (or type the address + PIN). - Choose photos and videos, and send. That's it. WHY FERRY - Full quality. Originals are sent without recompression. - Keeps metadata. GPS location and capture date are preserved. - Private. Transfers happen device-to-device on your local network. Nothing goes to the cloud, and Ferry has no account. - Fast. Limited only by your Wi-Fi, not your data plan. - Secure. Every session is protected by a one-time PIN. FREE AND PRO Ferry is free for your first 50 transfers. Ferry Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited sending and receiving, forever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VanLock at none against Ferry's 1. VanLock also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Ferry's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
