# eFiles vs Foldered

eFiles and Foldered both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Foldered's written reviews are positive against 25% of eFiles's. Foldered also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). eFiles's advantage is ratings volume (57 vs 7). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. eFiles sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Foldered sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for eFiles against 4.4 for Foldered. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eFiles has 57 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 25% of eFiles's written reviews are positive against 100% of Foldered's.

eFiles ships an update every 2 months, Foldered every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and July 23, 2026 respectively.
