Mocha Remote Desktop review
An inexpensive mobile RDP client for basic Windows PC access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Mocha Remote Desktop is a paid mobile RDP client for connecting to Windows work computers from iPhone, iPad and Android devices. It is aimed at individuals who need basic remote access from a phone or tablet rather than a broader remote-support workspace. The iPhone and iPad version supports Windows XP Professional and Windows 7, 10 and 11, while the vendor also lists a separate Android RDP application. Its feature set centers on standard RDP connectivity, with support for Network Level Authentication, 128-bit encryption, Wake on LAN and NETBIOS names.
Pricing is straightforward: the Android single-user plan costs $5.85 as a one-time purchase, while the iPhone/iPad single-user plan costs $5.99 one time. Both plans include a single-user license, so the choice is primarily determined by the mobile platform in use. The published product information also describes a limited lite version for iOS, while the main application is sold as a paid product. This structure suits a person looking for a low-cost mobile client without an ongoing subscription.
Mocha Remote Desktop also supports Bluetooth mice and keyboards, external keyboards, mice and trackpads, plus 8-bit and 16-bit color modes. Those options make it more practical for occasional desktop access from a mobile device. Its focus is narrower than remote-support software: file transfer, recording and session management are not included. Choose it for direct, basic RDP access from iOS or Android; organizations needing support workflows or broader session tools should consider a different type of remote desktop product.
