Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: UniFi Design at 5.0 against Qfile Pro's 4.2. UniFi Design also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Qfile Pro's advantage is ratings volume (495 vs 7) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

UniFi Design holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Qfile Pro has 495 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Qfile Pro's written reviews are positive against 23% of UniFi Design's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Qfile Pro ships an update every 5 weeks, UniFi Design fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
