Which one is for you
Pick NoMachine if
- Fits if you run Linux or a Raspberry Pi and want to connect straight to it
- Works for businesses hosting several virtual Linux desktops on one server
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you have lots of computers, as each needs its own $24.50 yearly license
- Skip it if you want something free, since only the Player is, and it needs a paid server to connect to
- Tight if two people need the same desktop at once, as Personal Edition allows one connection
- Watch out: reaching a machine behind a firewall by ID needs Network Personal at $84.50 a year on top
- Too light for browser access, VPN or single sign-on unless you pay for Enterprise at $44.50 a computer
Pick Reemo if
- Fits if you do creative work on a remote machine and want it in a browser tab
- Makes sense if you only need personal use, where Community is free
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you use it for work, as Teamwork is €23 per user a month billed annually
- Not for you if you want a company on the free plans, which bar professional use
- Watch out: prices are in euros, exclude taxes and no dollar prices are published
- Watch out: SAML sign-on, branding and on-premises deployment need the sales-led Enterprise plan

| Value for money | CPersonal Edition is $24.50 a year per computer, so two computers come to $49, and getting past a firewall by Machine Id adds Network Personal at $84.50, or $133.50 a year in all. RustDesk, Parsec and Jump Desktop reach your own computers for nothing, so for the same job it's on the dear side. | DAnything for work is Teamwork at €23 per user a month billed annually, above the category's $18 dearer-quarter line.

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.
