Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iFiles at 4.7 against JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere's 3.5. iFiles also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 459). JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (55% vs 45%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iFiles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iFiles has 3.2K ratings behind it against 459, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere's written reviews are positive against 45% of iFiles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere ships an update every 2 months, iFiles every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
