RemotePC vs Splashtop

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

Splashtop

• Reaching a home computer from the couch at no cost, or from anywhere for a small yearly fee
• People working from home who need their office computer from another device
• Designers and video editors who need accurate color and a stylus over a remote link
• IT teams and MSPs supporting staff or customers by concurrent technician

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.

Splashtop

• Splashtop Personal is free only on your home network and only for non-commercial use; working from home needs a business plan.
• Business plan prices are shown only as annual billing on the pricing page.
• Remote Support SOS is priced per concurrent technician, with the number of managed computers capped by the option you buy (10 or 300 per licence, up to 1,200).
• Enterprise, with single sign-on, APIs and the on-premises option, has no public price and is quoted by sales.
