Both are free to download. File Manager sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and MyFiles sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MyFiles holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 15 respectively.

File Manager ships an update every 3 weeks, MyFiles every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
