# pCloud vs AppToCloud

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.

pCloud holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: pCloud has 8.2K ratings behind it against 727, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of pCloud's written reviews are positive against 48% of AppToCloud's.

pCloud ships an update every 2 weeks, AppToCloud every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
