Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Visual File Editor at 83% against MyMQTT's 33%. Visual File Editor also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). MyMQTT's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyMQTT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual File Editor has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Visual File Editor's written reviews are positive against 33% of MyMQTT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Visual File Editor ships an update every 4 weeks, MyMQTT every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
