Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Zip Extractor at 4.4 against FTP Sprite's 3.1. Zip Extractor also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (305 vs 14).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Zip Extractor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zip Extractor has 305 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of FTP Sprite's written reviews are positive against 33% of Zip Extractor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FTP Sprite ships an update every 4 months, Zip Extractor every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
