Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FileBrowser at every 5 weeks against Multi Puzzle Solver's every 22 months. FileBrowser also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 4) and review sentiment (82% vs 67%). Multi Puzzle Solver's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $7.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
FileBrowser costs $7.99 and Multi Puzzle Solver $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Multi Puzzle Solver holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FileBrowser has 5.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of FileBrowser's written reviews are positive against 67% of Multi Puzzle Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FileBrowser ships an update every 5 weeks, Multi Puzzle Solver every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
