# My FileManager vs FileMaster Pro

The clearest difference is rating: My FileManager at 4.6 against FileMaster Pro's 3.8. My FileManager also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 100) and review sentiment (61% vs 38%). FileMaster Pro's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My FileManager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and FileMaster Pro 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My FileManager has 17K ratings behind it against 100, 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 38% of FileMaster Pro's.

My FileManager ships an update fortnightly, FileMaster Pro every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
