Verdict

The call

Documents Pro, Download & Edit and FileBrowserGO both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Documents Pro, Download & Edit's written reviews are positive against 46% of FileBrowserGO's. Documents Pro, Download & Edit also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 709). FileBrowserGO's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
