# USB Mobile Disk vs iFiles

The clearest difference is price: iFiles at Free against USB Mobile Disk's $0.99. iFiles also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 10). USB Mobile Disk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (63% vs 45%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

iFiles is free to download; USB Mobile Disk costs $0.99 up front. iFiles sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. USB Mobile Disk asks for nothing beyond the download.

iFiles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iFiles has 3.2K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of USB Mobile Disk's written reviews are positive against 45% of iFiles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

USB Mobile Disk ships an update every 3 months, iFiles every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
