Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ALClient at none against WebDAV Manager's 1. ALClient also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). WebDAV Manager's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 78%) and ratings volume (37 vs 12). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ALClient holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 37 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of WebDAV Manager's written reviews are positive against 78% of ALClient's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WebDAV Manager ships an update every 4 months, ALClient fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
