Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fileplay at 4.6 against Zaghareet's 3.0. Fileplay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 4). Zaghareet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 48%). On price 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. Zaghareet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Fileplay asks for nothing beyond the download.
Fileplay holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fileplay has 4.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Zaghareet's written reviews are positive against 48% of Fileplay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Zaghareet ships an update every 5 months, Fileplay every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
