Both are free to download. Processing & p5.js iCompiler sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyMQTT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Processing & p5.js iCompiler has 83 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Processing & p5.js iCompiler'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Processing & p5.js iCompiler ships an update every 2 months, MyMQTT every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
