Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BeeFiles at none against Icedrive's 6. BeeFiles also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Icedrive's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Icedrive sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. BeeFiles asks for nothing beyond the download.
BeeFiles holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 44 and 52 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of BeeFiles's written reviews are positive against 69% of Icedrive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BeeFiles ships an update every 3 months, Icedrive every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
