# Connect to PC vs Files HD Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Files HD Pro at 4.7 against Connect to PC's 3.3. Files HD Pro also leads on ratings volume (224 vs 7). Connect to PC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Connect to PC costs $4.99 and Files HD Pro $4.99 up front. Files HD Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Connect to PC asks for nothing beyond the download.

Files HD Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Files HD Pro has 224 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Connect to PC's written reviews are positive against 59% of Files HD Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Connect to PC ships an update every 3 months, Files HD Pro every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
