# OpenHTML vs FileXip

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FileXip at 79% against OpenHTML's 33%. FileXip also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and ratings volume (7 vs 2). OpenHTML's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OpenHTML sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and FileXip sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OpenHTML holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of OpenHTML's written reviews are positive against 79% of FileXip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OpenHTML ships an update every 5 days, FileXip every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
