# Documents vs Easy Files

The clearest difference is ads: Documents at none against Easy Files's shown. Documents also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (626K vs 303). Easy Files's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Documents sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Easy Files sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents has 626K ratings behind it against 303, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Documents's written reviews are positive against 80% of Easy Files's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Documents ships an update weekly, Easy Files monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
