Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XML Viewer and Editor at none against Filecraft's 1. XML Viewer and Editor also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Filecraft's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
