Both are free to download. Documents sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and RAR Opener * sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents has 626K ratings behind it against 392, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Documents's written reviews are positive against 100% of RAR Opener *'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Documents ships an update weekly, RAR Opener * every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
