# FileFlow vs Share Mesh

The clearest difference is update cadence: FileFlow at every 10 days against Share Mesh's every 7 months. FileFlow also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and ratings volume (15 vs 4). Share Mesh's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
