Which one is for you
Pick Degoo if
- Fits if you want your phone photos backed up for free on up to 3 devices
- Works for someone who would rather pay $2.99 a month than set anything up
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need a desktop sync app, as none is listed for Windows, Mac or Linux
- Tight if you own more than 3 devices: only 3 can upload on Free and 10 on Pro
- Watch out: the homepage title says 100 GB free but the plan table lists 20 GB plus referral bonuses
- Watch out: the table shows monthly prices only, and idle accounts are listed as expiring after 90 days
Pick OpenDrive if
- Fits if you want a small free cloud drive you can reach from an iPhone
- Works for sharing a few files with people who don't have an account
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to know what a paid plan buys, since the listing gives no storage amounts or billing period
- Tight if you need more than 5 GB without paying
- Not for you if you need Android or a desktop app, as only iPhone and iPad are named
- Watch out: the vendor's own site and pricing page sat behind a bot check, so these prices may differ from the website
- Too light for anyone who wants listed integrations, as none are named

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
