Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: My File Explorer at none against File Explorer's shown. My File Explorer also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. My File Explorer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and File Explorer sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My File Explorer holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 79 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of My File Explorer's written reviews are positive against 65% of File Explorer'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, File Explorer every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on August 17, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
