# Exo vs File Manager

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Exo at none against File Manager's 3. Exo also leads on ads (none vs shown). File Manager's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File Manager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Exo asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Exo against 4.9 for File Manager. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: File Manager has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
