# File vs Sys Info Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Sys Info Widget at 4.2 against File's 2.6. Sys Info Widget also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (37 vs 5). File's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (72% vs 60%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sys Info Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sys Info Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sys Info Widget has 37 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of File's written reviews are positive against 60% of Sys Info Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

File ships an update every 2 weeks, Sys Info Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
