Getscreen.me vs RemotePC

Getscreen.me

• IT teams supporting staff or clients from a browser, without installing a viewer
• Managed service providers who want to pay per technician and per device
• Individuals who want a one-time licence for up to 50 of their own devices
• Large organizations that need to host the remote access server themselves

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

Getscreen.me

• Paid plans charge per device on top of each technician seat, so the bill grows with the number of computers you keep permanent access to.
• The Standard plan does not include Quick Support for one-off client sessions; that needs Advanced or above.
• The self-hosted server is sold only on the Enterprise plan with annual billing, with a minimum of 500 devices or 10 technicians.
• There is an Android agent but no iOS agent is listed; iPhones and iPads can connect only through a browser.

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.
