RemotePC, from backup company IDrive, is a no-fuss way to keep a computer or two always reachable from a browser, a phone or another machine. One computer costs $2.46 a month on yearly billing after a cheaper first year. There's no free plan, though, and plans are capped by computer count, with $20 a year for each one over. - **Value for money: C.** Solo is $2.46 a month billed annually at renewal, after a first year at $1.84, but it reaches one computer. For a few you're on Pro at $8.29 a month for 10, or paying $20 a year for each one over. Chrome Remote Desktop and Splashtop's personal pack do the same job for less. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 7-day free trial with no credit card. A week is enough to see whether it suits you. - **Features: B.** Always-on access with unlimited concurrent sessions, multi-monitor, 4:4:4 colour, file transfer, remote printing, recording, chat and Linux and Raspberry Pi hosts. Nothing in the listing is missing from reaching your own machines; RDP and help desk support cost extra. - **Ease of use: B.** No App Store rating on record. Install the host once and the computer's always there, from a browser with nothing to install or from the phone apps. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android, Chromebook and Fire OS. Active Directory is the only integration on record and there's no API, so it stops at B. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $22.08 a year. - You could not: A fast, secure link to another computer through any network. - You could not: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and roles and permissions. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
