# My FileManager vs DManager IDM

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My FileManager at 61% against DManager IDM's 47%. My FileManager also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (17K vs 1.6K). DManager IDM's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My FileManager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and DManager 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.

My FileManager holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My FileManager has 17K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of My FileManager's written reviews are positive against 47% of DManager IDM's.
