Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: I at 5.0 against My File Explorer's 4.3. I also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). My File Explorer's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My File Explorer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. I asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

I holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My File Explorer has 31 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of My File Explorer's written reviews are positive against 50% of I's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My File Explorer ships an update every 3 weeks, I every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on August 17, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
