# FileViewer USB for iPhone vs Winmail Reader

The clearest difference is rating: Winmail Reader at 4.5 against FileViewer USB for iPhone's 4.0. Winmail Reader also leads on ratings volume (256 vs 2) and price ($1.99 vs $3.99). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

FileViewer USB for iPhone costs $3.99 and Winmail Reader $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Winmail Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Winmail Reader has 256 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of FileViewer USB for iPhone's written reviews are positive against 50% of Winmail Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
