Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Files.com at none against FSharing's 6. Files.com also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). FSharing's advantage is ratings volume (884 vs 5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. FSharing sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Files.com asks for nothing beyond the download.
FSharing holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FSharing has 884 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of FSharing's written reviews are positive against 100% of Files.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FSharing ships an update weekly, Files.com every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
