# NAS Pro vs DSFile Station

The clearest difference is rating: NAS Pro at 4.3 against DSFile Station's 3.7. NAS Pro also leads on ratings volume (176 vs 3) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). DSFile Station's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NAS Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. DSFile Station asks for nothing beyond the download.

NAS Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NAS Pro has 176 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of NAS Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of DSFile Station's.

NAS Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, DSFile Station weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
