# Copy My Data vs Smart Transfer

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Transfer at 5.0 against Copy My Data's 4.5. Smart Transfer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Copy My Data's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 1) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Smart Transfer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
