# File Managers vs FileMaster Pro

The clearest difference is rating: File Managers at 4.4 against FileMaster Pro's 3.8. File Managers also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (323 vs 100). FileMaster Pro's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File Managers sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days 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.

File Managers holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 323 and 100 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of File Managers's written reviews are positive against 38% of FileMaster Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

File Managers ships an update every 11 days, FileMaster Pro every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
