Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
