# Connect My Computer vs Desktop PC Browser

The clearest difference is rating: Desktop PC Browser at 4.4 against Connect My Computer's 3.5. Desktop PC Browser also leads on ratings volume (337 vs 98) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Connect My Computer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (56% vs 24%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Connect My Computer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Desktop PC Browser sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Desktop PC Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 98 and 337 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Connect My Computer's written reviews are positive against 24% of Desktop PC Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Connect My Computer ships an update every 3 months, Desktop PC Browser every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
