Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Compress 10x at Free against File Manager's $3.99. Compress 10x also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). File Manager's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
