Both are free to download. Nightstand sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. FutureFolio Viewer asks for nothing beyond the download.
FutureFolio Viewer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nightstand has 125 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of FutureFolio Viewer's written reviews are positive against 70% of Nightstand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FutureFolio Viewer ships an update every 2 months, Nightstand every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 21, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
