AnyDesk vs pcvisit (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 pcvisit if

• Fits if you run a help desk for customers on Windows or Mac
• Works for companies that want connection servers kept in Germany

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free, at 5 sessions a month and 1 host
• Pricey if you add staff, as each named user beyond the first is 139 euros a year
• Watch out: mobile access, session tracking, remote diagnosis and 1-Click RDP cost extra each year
• Watch out: prices exclude VAT, and cancelling is by email a month before the period ends
• Skip it if you need Linux or a phone app on the list, as only Windows and Mac are named

AnyDesk

Interactive and unattended access

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

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.

pcvisit

Ad hoc sessions

A customer joins a session without installing anything or any technical knowledge, using the client module, so a supporter can start quickly.

Install one or several remote hosts to reach servers and other computers with no session partner present.

German hosting and encryption

The vendor says all connection servers are in German data centres and that it uses 256-bit AES encryption.
