Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Exo at Free against File Manager's $3.99. Exo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). File Manager's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
