# File Manager vs MyFiles

File Manager and MyFiles both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 17% of File Manager's written reviews are positive against 0% of MyFiles's. File Manager also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 13). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File Manager sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and MyFiles sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MyFiles holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 55 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of File Manager's written reviews are positive against 0% of MyFiles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

File Manager ships an update monthly, MyFiles every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 9, 2026.
