Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FileLu at 91% against CloudMe's 47%. FileLu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). CloudMe's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
