Which one is for you

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 Iperius Remote if

  • Fits if you want free remote access for your own private computers
  • Works for small support teams that count connections, not seats

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you use it for work on the free version, as it is non-commercial only
  • Watch out: prices are in euros and exclude VAT
  • Watch out: Pro pricing depends on a connection count that the page text doesn't show
  • Pricey if you want your own branding, as corporate rebranding is bought separately on Small and Medium
  • Watch out: the pages say some features may not be available on all platforms

How we grade them

Value for money
CNo price could be read: AnyDesk's website answered our reader with a bot check, and its help centre sends buyers to the pricing page. With no figure to set against TeamViewer or Splashtop for the same job, it gets the C we give any missing price. Personal use is free; work use needs a licence.
CSmall is €8.39 a month for 2 concurrent connections, billed annually, VAT excluded, and Medium is €19.99 for 5. That is the middle of the category's range.
Free plan and trial
CFree for personal, non-commercial use, which covers reaching your own computers. But free sessions time out and have to be restarted, and any outgoing connection for work needs a paid licence. No trial is on record.
BThe free version covers unattended access and file transfer with no registration, but only for private, non-commercial use.
Features
CAttended and unattended access, remote printing, Wake-on-LAN, screen privacy, a management portal and an on-premises server with a REST API. The gaps it lists itself: Standard allows one outgoing connection at a time, and self-hosting is Ultimate only, quoted by sales.
BUnattended access, file transfer, mobile control, operator management and a custom client are listed.
Ease of use
B4.49 from 28,268 App Store ratings, which is a B on a crowd that size. The person at the other end accepts your request and you're connected.
BNo store rating on record. You install it and connect by ID, with nothing to configure.
Platforms and integrations
BWindows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi, ChromeOS, iPhone, iPad, Android and Apple TV. That's a lot of devices, but there's no web app or integration list, and the REST API comes only with the on-premises server.
BWindows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android are listed. No web version and no integrations or API are listed.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
