Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Folder at every 9 days against FileHub's every 5 months. Folder also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (67% vs 51%). FileHub's advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
