# Qfile Pro vs DSFile Station

The clearest difference is rating: Qfile Pro at 4.2 against DSFile Station's 3.7. Qfile Pro also leads on ratings volume (489 vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). DSFile Station's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (50% vs 30%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Qfile Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Qfile Pro has 489 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Qfile Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of DSFile Station's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Qfile Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, DSFile Station weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
