# FileMaster Pro vs Smart Renamer

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Renamer at 5.0 against FileMaster Pro's 3.8. Smart Renamer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). FileMaster Pro's advantage is ratings volume (109 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FileMaster Pro sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Smart Renamer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Renamer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FileMaster Pro has 109 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FileMaster Pro ships an update every 5 weeks, Smart Renamer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
