# Sync vs Cloud storage

The clearest difference is ads: Cloud storage at none against Sync's shown. Cloud storage also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sync sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Cloud storage sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sync ships an update every 2 months, Cloud storage every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
