WebDAV Manager is free to download; FE File Explorer costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FE File Explorer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FE File Explorer has 5.8K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of FE File Explorer's written reviews are positive against 80% of WebDAV Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FE File Explorer ships an update every 5 weeks, WebDAV Manager every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
