# IPA Installer vs Filie

The clearest difference is rating: Filie at 5.0 against IPA Installer's 1.1. Filie also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 1). IPA Installer's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPA Installer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Filie sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Filie holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPA Installer has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

IPA Installer ships an update fortnightly, Filie every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
