FileHippo is a download website that offers computer software for Windows. The website's software is grouped by freeware, shareware, and open-source. There is also a FileHippo App Manager, a free program that scans a computer for outdated software and offers links to more recent versions.[2][3][4] As of 6 March 2016[update].[5] FileHippo does not accept software submissions from publishers.[6] FileHippo was estimated to be worth over US$13,000,000 in November 2015.[7]

History
FileHippo was established in 2004 by the UK-based technology company Well Known Media.[8]
Services
Software hosting
The website has sections listing most recently updated programs and most popular downloads, organised by category, with program information and link. Registration is not required.
Software news
In January 2014, a news section was added, covering the latest software and computing news.[9]
Funding
The website is funded by user donations and third-party advertising.[6] FileHippo briefly tested the InstallCore installer, which has monetization features, on some downloads. Following user feedback it was decided not to add it or any other bundlers, installers or other wrappers to downloads.[citation needed]
