Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: File Master at 4.5 against Mocha VNC Lite's 3.0. File Master also leads on ratings volume (6.9K vs 19) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Mocha VNC Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File Master sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Mocha VNC Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
File Master holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: File Master has 6.9K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Mocha VNC Lite's written reviews are positive against 59% of File Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mocha VNC Lite ships an update every 4 months, File Master monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
