Both are free to download. RemotePC Remote Desktop sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Files.com asks for nothing beyond the download.
RemotePC Remote Desktop holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemotePC Remote Desktop has 3.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of RemotePC Remote Desktop's written reviews are positive against 100% of Files.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RemotePC Remote Desktop ships an update fortnightly, Files.com monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
