Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Files Go at Free against Socode's $4.99. Files Go also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Socode's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
