FonePaw iOS Transfer and Tenorshare iCareFone are two of the best iTunes alternative to transfer iPhone/iPad contacts, photos, videos from/to computer, what are the differences between the two and which one should we choose? You can make a firmly decision after reading this post.

Part 1: What is FonePaw iOS Transfer

FonePaw iOS Transfer breaks iTunes restrictions to sync iPhone files without iTunes. With this iOS files manager, we can manage our music and other files easier and quicker, and moreover, it offers more edit choices than that in iTunes. These choices include adding new files from computer to iPhone/iPad/iPod, exporting files from iDevice to PC, or deleting unwanted files in batch.

Part 2: About Tenorshare iCareFone

iPhone Care Pro is not only an iOS transfer and management tool, but also provides other iOS tuneup and optimization functions. With this tiny utility, you can clean unwanted junk files, manage iOS files, filter out in-app Ads, backup & restore iPhone data without iTunes, fix iOS stuck, and repair iOS system issues.

Part 3: Comparison of FonePaw and iPhone Care Pro

Download & Install

FonePaw iOS Transfer is twice the download size of iPhone Care Pro, for which I do not have a good first impression with this product.

User Interface

Both products come with a neat interface and are designed user-friendly. It is much more intuitive to use any of the products than iTunes.

On the contrary, iPhone Care Pro is completely free of charge in transferring files from iPhone, iPad, and iPod to PC/Mac or back. It integrates 6 big features and offers Free Files Manager and Free Cleanup without any restrictions. You just need to pay for $29.95 (3PCs) when you need other four advanced features.

Test & Reviews

In our test to transfer contacts, the two products act well and allow creating new contacts, exporting contacts to PC, deleting contacts, and merging duplicated contacts. Well, Fonepaw supports to import contacts from Outlook/vCard file which does not support in iCareFone.

Summary:

Both FonePaw and Tenorshare iPhone Care Pro are the best iTunes alternative for iPhone data transfer, and both have pros and cons. Personally I prefer iPhone Care Pro as it is free but supports more types of files. I choose it as FonePaw alternative to manage iOS files.
