Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DLFiles at 80% against Pip's 41%. DLFiles also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks). Pip's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 23) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pip holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pip has 1.2K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of DLFiles's written reviews are positive against 41% of Pip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DLFiles ships an update daily, Pip every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
