# Device Kit vs FileXip

The clearest difference is price: Device Kit at Free against FileXip's $5.99. Device Kit also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (89 vs 16). FileXip's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Device Kit is free to download; FileXip costs $5.99 up front. Device Kit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and FileXip sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Device Kit holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Device Kit has 89 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Device Kit's written reviews are positive against 76% of FileXip's.

Device Kit ships an update every 10 days, FileXip every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
