The report card
Best for remote support from German servers
pcvisit is remote support software for Windows and Mac help desks, with connection servers kept in Germany. The free plan allows 5 sessions a month on 1 computer, and the Profi plan is 199 euros a year for one named user.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Profi is 199 euros a year plus VAT for one user, roughly $17 a month, near the dearer quarter ($18). Each extra named user is 139 euros a year. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free is 5 remote sessions a month and 1 unattended computer, with 14 days of all features first. A help desk will hit that cap. |
| Features | C | Ad hoc and unattended access, team roles and German hosting. Mobile device access (99 euros), session time tracking and remote diagnosis are paid add-ons. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A support tool means installing it on both ends and setting up users. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Windows and Mac only on the download list, so a program for computers alone. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace pcvisit 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: 65 of the 85 other remote desktop apps grade higher. It costs $222.32 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. pcvisit’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.
