Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AIDA64 at 4.6 against Phone Diagnostics's 3.8. AIDA64 also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 86). Phone Diagnostics's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AIDA64 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Phone Diagnostics sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AIDA64 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AIDA64 has 2.3K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of AIDA64's written reviews are positive against 63% of Phone Diagnostics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AIDA64 ships an update every 3 months, Phone Diagnostics every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
