# WebDAV Navigator vs PocketServer

The clearest difference is rating: PocketServer at 5.0 against WebDAV Navigator's 4.2. PocketServer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). WebDAV Navigator's advantage is ratings volume (754 vs 20) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebDAV Navigator sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and PocketServer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PocketServer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebDAV Navigator has 754 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of WebDAV Navigator's written reviews are positive against 100% of PocketServer's.

WebDAV Navigator ships an update every 2 months, PocketServer every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
