# FileHub vs U

The clearest difference is rating: U at 5.0 against FileHub's 4.4. U also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). FileHub's advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FileHub sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. U asks for nothing beyond the download.

U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FileHub has 150 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FileHub ships an update every 5 months, U fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
