AnyDesk vs GoToMyPC (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 GoToMyPC if

• Fits if you work from home and need to reach one or two office computers
• Works for small teams that want shared access to a handful of machines

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you reach several computers, as pricing is per computer reached
• Watch out: Personal and Pro show a crossed-out higher price with no end date, and the billing period isn't stated
• Skip it if you want to host from Linux, iOS or Android, which are named only as devices to connect from
• Tight if you're one person with over 20 computers, as Personal stops at 20 and Corporate starts at 5

AnyDesk

• AnyDesk's website answered automated readers with a bot check, so no prices could be read; its help center sends buyers to the pricing page or the my.anydesk portal for figures.
• The free version is for personal use only; any outgoing connection for commercial use needs a paid licence.
• Standard includes 20 users but only one simultaneous outgoing connection; more are add-ons.
• On-premises hosting is only on the Ultimate licence, which is quoted by sales.

GoToMyPC

• Pricing is per computer reached, so each added computer adds a full monthly charge.
• The pricing page shows Personal and Pro as discounted from a higher crossed-out price with no end date, and does not say whether the figures are billed monthly or yearly.
• The comparison table lists a desktop client for Windows and a shortcut for Mac as the host side; Linux, iOS, Android and Chromebook are named only as devices to connect from.
• Personal is limited to one user, up to 20 computers; Pro covers 2 to 50 computers; Corporate starts at 5.

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

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

The Ultimate licence can run on your own appliance server, so only your custom clients can connect, even without internet access, with a REST API for integration.
