# Visual File Editor vs MyMQTT

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.

Both are free to download. Visual File Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MyMQTT sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
