Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Professional is $3.58 a month, billed $42.96 yearly, just above the category's $2.78 cheaper-quarter start. Enterprise is $16.58 a month for up to 30 users. |
| Free plan and trial | B | The free plan covers 1 user, 3 login devices, 10 saved devices and 2 simultaneous sessions, which one person can live on. |
| Features | C | Unattended access, file transfer, privacy mode, a screen wall and business deployment are listed. Privacy mode and fast transfer are paid, and files cap at 100 MB on free. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. It installs and pairs with an account, with little to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Windows, macOS, iPhone and Android are listed. No Linux, web or integrations are listed. |
