Which one is for you
Pick AweSun if
- Fits if you want to control a PC from a phone and pay per device
- Works for people who stream games from a remote PC and want the Game plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Linux or a browser version, as neither is listed
- Watch out: the free plan's limits aren't on the pricing page
- Tight if you manage many devices, as Pro and Game are priced per device per year
- Watch out: the English pages are marked as AI-translated from the original, so details may not match
Pick TeamViewer if
- Fits if you're the one the family calls when the computer plays up
- Works for help desks already running ServiceNow, Jira or Intune that can pay $619.99 a year or more
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're a one-person IT shop, as Business is $619.99 a year for one user
- Skip it if you need to control iPhones or iPads, which only share their screen, and phones need a paid add-on
- Not for you if your use is really work and you want it free, as the free version is personal only
- Tight if you need more than one connection at a time, which Business doesn't allow
- Watch out: prices change by visitor location, and the Remote Access, Premium and Corporate prices couldn't be read in dollars

Worth knowing
AweSun
- The pricing page does not say what the free plan limits, so its caps are unconfirmed.
- Pro and Game are priced per device per year, and the discount for 2 or more devices is the only volume pricing shown.
- The site's English pages are marked as AI-translated from the original.
TeamViewer
- TeamViewer's website shows prices by visitor location and could not be read in US dollars; Remote Access, Premium and Corporate prices are missing here.
- The free version is for personal use only; any business or work use needs a paid licence, which TeamViewer offers to trial for 14 days.
- Licences are billed yearly and cap the number of managed devices and simultaneous connections, e.g. one connection at a time on Business.
- Supporting phones and tablets is a paid add-on; for iPhones and iPads it is screen sharing rather than control.

More comparisons
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.
