Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IIVA at 78% against BeeFiles's 0%. IIVA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). BeeFiles's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ratings volume and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
