Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Files Offliner at none against Float's 11. Files Offliner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Float's advantage is ratings volume (8.9K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
