# Jumpshare vs FileLu

The clearest difference is ads: Jumpshare at none against FileLu's shown. Jumpshare also leads on ratings volume (468 vs 16) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). FileLu's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jumpshare sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and FileLu sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Jumpshare against 4.7 for FileLu. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jumpshare has 468 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Jumpshare's written reviews are positive against 91% of FileLu's.

Jumpshare ships an update monthly, FileLu every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
