Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monlam Keyboard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FileMaster has 4.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of FileMaster's written reviews are positive against 50% of Monlam Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FileMaster ships an update every 3 months, Monlam Keyboard every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
