ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Zip Extractor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zip Extractor has 305 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of ZipManager's written reviews are positive against 33% of Zip Extractor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ZipManager ships an update every 2 months, Zip Extractor every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
