pcvisit vs Splashtop (2026): which should you pick?

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

Pick Splashtop if

• Fits if you want your home PC from anywhere for $23.99 a year
• Works for help desks that support people by session code at $22 per concurrent technician

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you hoped the free app would reach your PC from outside the house, as it's home Wi-Fi only
• Not for you if you work from home and want it free, as that counts as commercial use
• Pricey if you need single sign-on, the APIs or on-premises, which sit on an Enterprise plan quoted by sales
• Watch out: business plans are shown on annual billing only, the trial's length isn't stated, and there's no web app
• Tight if SOS outgrows its cap, as each license covers 10 or 300 managed computers, up to 1,200
