Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ASUS File Transfer at 3.5 against AiMaster's 2.3. ASUS File Transfer also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). AiMaster's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ASUS File Transfer holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AiMaster has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of AiMaster's written reviews are positive against 0% of ASUS File Transfer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AiMaster ships an update every 2 months, ASUS File Transfer every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
