# AccessMyLAN vs Google Cloud

The clearest difference is rating: Google Cloud at 3.4 against AccessMyLAN's 1.4. Google Cloud also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (100 vs 13). AccessMyLAN's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Google Cloud holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Cloud has 100 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AccessMyLAN ships an update every 4 months, Google Cloud weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
