# SHAREit vs ShareXpress

The clearest difference is rating: SHAREit at 4.6 against ShareXpress's 4.0. SHAREit also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (150K vs 2). ShareXpress's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SHAREit sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and ShareXpress sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SHAREit holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHAREit has 150K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SHAREit ships an update every 2 weeks, ShareXpress every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
