# Files n Folders vs File Manager

The clearest difference is rating: File Manager at 4.2 against Files n Folders's 3.3. File Manager also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 7). Files n Folders's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Files n Folders sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and File Manager sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

File Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: File Manager has 55 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Files n Folders's written reviews are positive against 17% of File Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Files n Folders ships an update every 2 months, File Manager monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
