# File Manager Document Explorer vs Easy Files

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Easy Files at 80% against File Manager Document Explorer's 48%. Easy Files also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (312 vs 33). File Manager Document Explorer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File Manager Document Explorer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Easy Files sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

File Manager Document Explorer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Files has 312 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of File Manager Document Explorer's written reviews are positive against 80% of Easy Files's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

File Manager Document Explorer ships an update every 3 months, Easy Files monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
