Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ASUS File Transfer at 3.5 against AiData's 2.0. ASUS File Transfer also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). AiData's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months) and review sentiment (19% vs 0%). 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 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AiData has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of AiData'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

AiData ships an update every 3 months, ASUS File Transfer every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
