Best for cross-system remote control, with a gaming plan
AweSun controls computers and phones from each other, with a free plan and paid Pro and Game plans. The pricing page never says what the free plan limits, and the English pages are marked as AI-translated.
Who AweSun is for
- Fits if you want to control a PC from a phone and pay per device
- Works for people who stream games from a remote PC and want the Game plan
Who AweSun is not for
- Skip it if you need Linux or a browser version, as neither is listed
- Watch out: the free plan's limits aren't on the pricing page
- Tight if you manage many devices, as Pro and Game are priced per device per year
- Watch out: the English pages are marked as AI-translated from the original, so details may not match

Keep AweSun, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AweSun 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 $33.35 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. AweSun’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.
