# My FileManager vs D Manager IDM

My FileManager and D Manager IDM both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 61% of My FileManager's written reviews are positive against 41% of D Manager IDM's. My FileManager also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 1.4K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). D Manager IDM's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My FileManager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and D Manager IDM sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for My FileManager against 4.5 for D Manager IDM. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My FileManager has 17K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of My FileManager's written reviews are positive against 41% of D Manager IDM's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
