Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Django Files at 5.0 against YEN 1.9's 4.3. Django Files also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). YEN 1.9's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
