# Lumeo vs Secure File Manager

The clearest difference is monetization model: Secure File Manager at ad-supported against Lumeo's subscription. Lumeo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 35 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lumeo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Secure File Manager sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lumeo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lumeo has 1.4K ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Lumeo's written reviews are positive against 69% of Secure File Manager's.

Lumeo ships an update every 2 weeks, Secure File Manager every 35 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
