# Copy My Data vs Xender

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Xender at none against Copy My Data's 10. Xender also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 34%) and device support (3 vs 1). Copy My Data's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and chart position 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. Xender asks for nothing beyond the download.

Copy My Data holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16K and 18K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Copy My Data's written reviews are positive against 64% of Xender'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, Xender every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
