Best for remote access with a free plan for one user
AnyViewer gives unattended remote access, with a free plan for one user, 3 login devices and 2 simultaneous sessions. Privacy mode, fast file transfer and phone control need a paid plan, and the download pages list no Linux client.
Who AnyViewer is for
- Fits if you need unattended access to a few of your own computers for free
- Works for one person who wants phone-to-PC control
Who AnyViewer is not for
- Tight if you need more than 2 simultaneous sessions or files over 100 MB on the free plan
- Skip it if you use Linux, as no Linux client is listed
- Watch out: privacy mode, high-speed file transfer and mobile device remote control need a paid plan
- Watch out: prices are for yearly billing, and Professional's 3- and 6-year terms renew at the yearly rate

Keep AnyViewer, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AnyViewer you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $42.96 a year.
What you could not
- A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. AnyViewer’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
