HackerRemote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 58% of File Manager$'s written reviews are positive against 50% of HackerRemote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
File Manager$ ships an update every 9 months, HackerRemote every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
