Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iFiles at 4.7 against Files's 4.2. iFiles also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 59) and review sentiment (46% vs 36%). Files's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iFiles sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Files sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
iFiles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iFiles has 3.2K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of iFiles's written reviews are positive against 36% of Files's.
iFiles ships an update monthly, Files fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
