Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ES File Explorer at 4.6 against Blur Wallpapers Pro's 4.1. ES File Explorer also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 115) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Blur Wallpapers Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
