AnyDesk vs AnyViewer (2026): which should you pick?

Pick AnyDesk if

• Fits if you want to reach your own home computer from a phone or tablet without paying
• Works for firms that must keep remote access inside their own network and will talk to sales for Ultimate

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to see a price before talking to anyone, as we couldn't read one
• Not for you if your free use is really work, since the free version is for personal use only
• Tight if your free sessions run long, as they time out and need restarting
• Too light for teams on Standard, which has 20 users but one outgoing connection at a time; more cost extra
• Pricey if you need on-premises hosting, which is only on Ultimate and quoted by sales

Pick AnyViewer if

• Fits if you need unattended access to a few of your own computers for free
• Works for one person who wants phone-to-PC control

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you need more than 2 simultaneous sessions or files over 100 MB on the free plan
• Skip it if you use Linux, as no Linux client is listed
• Watch out: privacy mode, high-speed file transfer and mobile device remote control need a paid plan
• Watch out: prices are for yearly billing, and Professional's 3- and 6-year terms renew at the yearly rate

AnyDesk

Connect to any number of devices when the person there accepts the request, or to managed devices without anyone present using a password: up to 100 on Solo and 1,000 on Advanced.

Wide platform coverage

Clients for Windows and Windows Server, macOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi, Android and ChromeOS, and iOS, iPadOS and tvOS.

Remote print and Wake-on-LAN

Print a document from a remote Windows computer on your local printer, and wake a sleeping Windows, Intel Mac or Linux device when another AnyDesk device on its network is online.

Screen privacy

Black out the remote screen so people near the device cannot see what you are doing during a session.

my.anydesk portal

A management portal to see licence and invoice details, manage linked clients and address books, review sessions and build custom clients.

On-premises server
