# Visual File Editor vs ApiClient

The clearest difference is rating: Visual File Editor at 4.5 against ApiClient's 1.0. Visual File Editor also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). ApiClient's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Visual File Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ApiClient sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Visual File Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual File Editor has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Visual File Editor's written reviews are positive against 100% of ApiClient's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Visual File Editor ships an update every 4 weeks, ApiClient every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
