SCAN & RECOGNIZE • Scan ID cards with optional purpose watermarks and image enhancement. • Extract editable text from photos and PDFs. • Extract tables with cell review and export to Excel. • Recognize QR codes without automatically opening links. • Transcribe local audio with selectable ranges and TXT or SRT export. PDF TOOLS • Create searchable or standard PDFs from photos and document scans. • Merge PDFs; organize, reorder, rotate, insert, remove and extract pages. • Split PDFs by page, fixed groups or custom groups. • Crop page margins, compress PDFs and password-protect PDF copies. • Convert PDFs to images or editable Word documents. • Export TXT and Markdown to PDF; add optional covers, contents and page numbers. • Combine photos, scans and selected PDF pages; set a consistent A4 or Letter page size.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FileNook at 67% against ZipMaster's 38%. FileNook also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). ZipMaster's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ZipMaster sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and FileNook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ZipMaster holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FileNook has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of ZipMaster's written reviews are positive against 67% of FileNook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ZipMaster ships an update every 2 weeks, FileNook weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
