# Files.com vs Logseq

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Files.com at 100% against Logseq's 59%. Logseq's advantage is ratings volume (252 vs 5) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Logseq holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Logseq has 252 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Files.com's written reviews are positive against 59% of Logseq's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Files.com ships an update every 5 weeks, Logseq every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
