# File Browser and Manager vs Documents

The clearest difference is review sentiment: File Browser and Manager at 100% against Documents's 45%. File Browser and Manager also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Documents's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1K vs 4). On price and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Documents sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. File Browser and Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.

Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of File Browser and Manager's written reviews are positive against 45% of Documents's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
