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

- 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

|---|---|---|
| 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.

| Features | CAttended and unattended access, remote printing, Wake-on-LAN, screen privacy, a management portal and an on-premises server with a REST API.

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.
