# FileMate vs 文件管理器

The clearest difference is ads: 文件管理器 at none against FileMate's shown. 文件管理器 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). FileMate's advantage is ratings volume (378 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FileMate sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and 文件管理器 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

文件管理器 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FileMate has 378 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of FileMate's written reviews are positive against 100% of 文件管理器's.

FileMate ships an update every 2 weeks, 文件管理器 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
