# Verizon Cloud vs Google One

Verizon Cloud and Google One both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of Verizon Cloud's written reviews are positive against 28% of Google One's. Verizon Cloud also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ratings volume (143K vs 23K). Google One's advantage is chart position (#41 vs unranked) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google One sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Verizon Cloud asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Verizon Cloud against 4.7 for Google One. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Verizon Cloud has 143K ratings behind it against 23K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Verizon Cloud's written reviews are positive against 28% of Google One's.

Verizon Cloud ships an update monthly, Google One fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
