Which one is for you
Pick Supremo if
- Fits if you help family or friends now and then and don't use it all day
- Works for a one-person helper who wants a Windows or Mac tool
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you use it for work: free is for non-professional or non-continuous use
- Pricey if you want the lowest price: €7.37 needs a 3-year term, and prices exclude VAT
- Skip it if you need several sessions at once, as Business adds them and extra connections are €39 each a year
- Watch out: the IT Security feature set is a separate add-on, and there's no Linux app
Pick Zoho Assist if
- Fits if you're a one-person IT shop looking after up to 5 machines without paying
- Works for teams whose support requests arrive as Zendesk, Freshdesk or Jira tickets
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you need both support and unattended access, as each is a separate plan at $10 or more
- Tight if you stay free: one session at a time, and no file transfer, screen blanking or reboot-and-reconnect
- Skip it if you need session recording or remote printing at the lowest tier, as neither is in the Standard plans
- Watch out: mobile device support starts on Professional at $15, and webhooks and Zapier on Enterprise at $24

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CSolo is €7.37 a month on a 3-year term, €8.17 on 1 year and €11.00 on 3 months, between the cheaper quarter and the middle for remote access tools. | CRemote Support Standard is $10 per technician a month billed annually, and unattended computers are a separate $10 per 25, so a technician doing both pays $20. For the same job that's below ScreenConnect, TeamViewer and LogMeIn Resolve, but above Getscreen.me. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for non-professional and non-continuous use, with upgrades included. One person helping family could live on it. | BThe free plan has 1 technician, 5 unattended computers and no limit on session length, for personal or small business use. It's one session at a time, and file transfer and screen blanking need paying. Paid plans have a 15-day trial with no card. |
| Features | CUnattended access, no network setup, file transfer, chat and a branded client. Solo allows one session at a time, and IT Security is a separate add-on. | BOn-demand sessions with chat, voice and video, unattended access with bulk deployment and Wake-on-LAN, recording, branding, a customer widget and Zia AI. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job; recording and remote printing just aren't in Standard. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record. Download it, share the ID and connect, with no network setup. | B4.73 from 909 App Store ratings, which misses our A on the number of ratings. Customers join from an invitation, so there's little to set up on their side. |

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.
