Both are free to download. Xlist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Cloud Drive Client asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cloud Drive Client holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xlist has 42 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Cloud Drive Client's written reviews are positive against 71% of Xlist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cloud Drive Client ships an update every 4 months, Xlist every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
