# Copy My Data vs Direct Transfer Contacts/Files

The clearest difference is rating: Copy My Data at 4.5 against Direct Transfer Contacts/Files's 3.9. Copy My Data also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 36) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). Direct Transfer Contacts/Files's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (38% vs 29%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Copy My Data sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Direct Transfer Contacts/Files sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Copy My Data holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Copy My Data has 16K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Copy My Data's written reviews are positive against 38% of Direct Transfer Contacts/Files's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Copy My Data ships an update every 10 days, Direct Transfer Contacts/Files every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
