# 小吉历 vs FileXip

The clearest difference is rating: 小吉历 at 5.0 against FileXip's 4.3. 小吉历 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and price ($2.99 vs $5.99). FileXip's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 3). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

小吉历 costs $2.99 and FileXip $5.99 up front. FileXip sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 小吉历 asks for nothing beyond the download.

小吉历 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FileXip has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of 小吉历's written reviews are positive against 76% of FileXip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

小吉历 ships an update every 3 months, FileXip every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
