Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: A1 Cloud at none against pCloud's 13. A1 Cloud also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). pCloud's advantage is ratings volume (8.1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
