# Zipper vs eFiles

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zipper at 71% against eFiles's 25%. Zipper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). eFiles's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zipper sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and eFiles sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

eFiles holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 58 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Zipper's written reviews are positive against 25% of eFiles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Zipper ships an update every 2 weeks, eFiles every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
