# iFiles vs File Manager

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: File Manager at none against iFiles's 3. File Manager also leads on iOS requirement (11.2 vs 14.0). iFiles's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 321). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iFiles sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. File Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.

iFiles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iFiles has 3.2K ratings behind it against 321, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of iFiles's written reviews are positive against 50% of File Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
