Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AD DSP at 100% against Fileplay's 48%. AD DSP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Fileplay's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fileplay holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fileplay has 4.2K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of AD DSP's written reviews are positive against 48% of Fileplay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AD DSP ships an update every 13 months, Fileplay every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
