Which one is for you

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

Pick RustDesk if

  • Fits if you want a free remote desktop app you can use for work too
  • Works for companies whose rules say remote access data must stay on their own servers

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you need to support people on iPhones or iPads, which can't be controlled or share their screen
  • Not for you if you want a hosted service with accounts and a console, as paid plans mean running your own server
  • Tight if you need help fast, since the free version has community support only
  • Pricey if you want the web client, which needs a plan where users x 10 plus devices is at least 400
  • Watch out: paid plans are yearly only, there's no nonprofit or education discount, and trials are by request

How we grade them

2.2GPAReemoFair3.0GPARustDeskVery good
Value for money
DAnything for work is Teamwork at €23 per user a month billed annually, above the category's $18 dearer-quarter line. Community and Individual are personal use only.
A$0: the client is free and works through RustDesk's public relay servers, so one technician can support people with nothing to host. Paid Server Pro starts at $11.88 a month billed annually, for a server you run yourself. TeamViewer and AnyDesk, doing the same job, are free for personal use only.
Free plan and trial
CCommunity is free with 4K at up to 120 FPS and 20 Mbps, but for personal use only, and Teamwork has a free trial.
AFree outright: the client and the open-source server cost nothing, and the listing shows no cap on devices or sessions. Help is community support only, and the web console and user accounts need Server Pro.
Features
BBrowser streaming, drawing tablet and gamepad support, roles, session logs and on-premises deployment are listed. SAML, branding and on-premises need Enterprise.
CIt connects with no setup, self-hosts in a few Docker commands, and Server Pro adds a web console, audit log, single sign-on, LDAP and a branded client. The gaps it lists itself: an iPhone or iPad can't be controlled or share its screen, and the web client needs a large plan.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. An agent has to be installed on every computer you want to reach.
CNo App Store rating on record. The free client is install and connect, but everything you'd pay for runs on a server you host yourself with Docker, which is a job for someone happy on a command line.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb, Windows, Mac and Linux are listed, with SAML, SCIM and LDAP. No phone apps are listed.
BWindows, Mac, Linux, Android, a web client and an iPhone app that can only control other devices. There's no integration list or API on record, so it stops at B.

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.
