Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DameWare Mobile at 3.0 against LinkVNC Viewer's 2.3. LinkVNC Viewer's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DameWare Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LinkVNC Viewer has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of DameWare Mobile's written reviews are positive against 23% of LinkVNC Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DameWare Mobile ships an update every 12 months, LinkVNC Viewer weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
