Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FileCentral at none against Foldered's 1. FileCentral also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (27 vs 7). Foldered's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price and ads 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. Foldered sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. FileCentral asks for nothing beyond the download.
FileCentral holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of FileCentral's written reviews are positive against 100% of Foldered's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FileCentral ships an update every 6 months, Foldered every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and July 23, 2026 respectively.
