# FSharing vs File Box

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FSharing at 76% against File Box's 30%. FSharing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FSharing sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and File Box sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FSharing holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FSharing has 887 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of FSharing's written reviews are positive against 30% of File Box's.

FSharing ships an update weekly, File Box every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
