> Virtual app delivery that serves Windows apps as web apps

Checked Nov 13, 2026 · graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA.

Cameyo by Google is a virtual app delivery service that turns client-based applications into progressive web apps, reached from an app shelf in the browser. It is positioned as a lighter alternative to full virtual desktops. Pricing is not published, and the vendor routes buyers to talk to an expert.

- **Category:** Remote Desktop
- **Made by:** Google
- **Website:** https://cameyo.google
- **Runs on:** Web
- **Who should skip it:** Not for you if you are one person, as the pages describe no self-serve plan.
- **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026

## Pricing

Cameyo's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **Apps as progressive web apps:** Legacy client-based applications are turned into progressive web apps that users open from an app shelf, with no VPN or virtual desktop.
- **Zero-trust design:** The vendor says apps are separated from the device and the device from the network to reduce the attack surface.
- **Local and cloud file access:** Virtualized apps can open and save files on the device's local file system or on cloud storage providers, as IT allows.
- **Fewer virtual desktops:** Delivers individual apps instead of a full virtual Windows desktop, which the vendor says reduces infrastructure and licensing work.

## Good for

- IT teams moving legacy Windows apps to a browser-first setup
- Organizations that want app-level access instead of full virtual desktops

## Worth knowing

- No prices are published; the site only offers a talk-to-an-expert form.
- The vendor's cost claim of 54% lower than VDI and DaaS comes from research it cites, not from a price list.
- Aimed at organizations; the pages read describe no self-serve plan for individuals.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Cameyo turns client-based Windows apps into web apps so users reach them from a browser instead of a full virtual desktop. It is built for IT teams, and you cannot find a price or a trial without talking to the company.

- **Value for money: C.** No price is published, only a talk-to-an-expert form, so there is nothing to compare against the category. The vendor's 54% lower-cost claim comes from research it cites, not a price list.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free and no trial on record, only a sales conversation.
- **Features: C.** Delivers legacy Windows apps as progressive web apps, with file access and fewer full desktops. That is one narrower job than a general remote-access tool, done as the vendor describes it.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and an IT team has to move apps over and set up access before anyone uses them.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only on the listing: users reach apps in a browser, with no desktop or phone app listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Cameyo 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. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 85 other remote desktop apps grade higher.

- You could not: A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- You could not: Storing and serving files for other people.
