AnyDesk vs RemotePC

AnyDesk

• Reaching your own home or work computer at no cost for personal use
• Self-employed IT specialists who need one user with up to 100 unattended devices
• IT teams and service providers supporting many people's computers
• Enterprises that need remote access hosted inside their own network

RemotePC

• Individuals reaching one home or office computer for a few dollars a year
• Small teams that need always-on access to a fixed set of computers
• Businesses that already use IDrive and want access from the same vendor

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.

RemotePC

• Plans are capped by number of computers; each computer over the plan's limit is charged $20 a year in overage.
• Advertised yearly and two-year prices are first-term discounts; normal charges apply when the plan renews.
• The RDP Connector for reaching computers over RDP is an add-on at $20 per computer a year.
• There is no free plan, only the 7-day trial; Pro covers one user, so adding people means Team or above.

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.

RemotePC

Always-on remote access

Install the host once and reach the computer at any time, with unlimited concurrent access, multi-to-multi monitor support and 4:4:4 color.

Browser and mobile viewers

Connect from the web viewer without installing anything, or from apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook and Fire OS.

File transfer and remote printing

Move files between computers, print remote documents locally, and use a whiteboard, chat, mic passthrough and session recording.

Team management

Team and Enterprise add users with roles and access permissions, computer groups, deployment packages and scheduled remote access.

Enterprise sign-in and HelpDesk

Enterprise adds Active Directory and SSO with identity provider sync, and on-demand remote support for helping people who are not on your plan.

Linux and Raspberry Pi hosts

Host packages for Linux machines, headless servers and Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, alongside Windows and Mac.
