Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: pCloud at 4.7 against AppToCloud's 3.9. pCloud also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. pCloud sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and AppToCloud sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
