Best for organizing connections and logins for many machines
Royal TS is a connection manager for RDP, SSH, VNC and other sessions, with credential management and shareable documents. A licence is €49 one time per user for Windows or Mac, and there's a free Lite edition limited to 10 connections. It's two separate products, and Royal Server is licensed separately.
Who Royal TS is for
- Fits if you juggle dozens of servers and want connections and logins in one place
- Works for IT teams that want shared connection documents
Who Royal TS is not for
- Tight if you stay on Lite: 10 connections, 10 credentials and 1 document
- Pricey if you need both systems: Windows and Mac are separate licences, €79 for the pair
- Watch out: prices are in euros without VAT, and each licence includes only 1 year of maintenance
- Too light on its own for gateway tasks, as Royal Server is licensed separately

Keep Royal TS, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Royal TS 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 is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 28 of the 35 other remote desktop apps we grade. It costs $54.74, paid once.
What you could not
- A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Royal TS’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.
What is Royal TS?
Royal TS is a connection manager for IT staff who reach many systems over different protocols. Connections, credentials and tasks live in documents that can be shared with a team without sharing the passwords inside them. Windows, macOS, iOS and Android editions exist, and it is sold as a one-time license rather than a subscription.
Worth knowing
- Prices are shown in euros, excluding VAT; the page says other currencies may vary with conversion rates.
- Each license includes 1 year of software maintenance, except Extended Global, which includes 3 years.
- Windows and macOS are separate products with separate licenses; the bundle covers both.
- Royal Server, the gateway for remote management tasks, is licensed separately and does not come with Royal TS.
Key features
- Many connection types
- The Windows edition lists remote desktop (RDP), SSH and Telnet terminals, VNC, web pages, and file transfer over FTP, SFTP and SCP.
- Credential management
- Credentials are stored as separate objects that connections and folders inherit or link to, and sensitive document data is encrypted and can be password protected.
- Shareable documents
- A document of connections can be shared with a team while credentials are assigned by name, so personal passwords stay out of the shared file.
- Command and key sequence tasks
- Tasks run commands such as ping or traceroute, or replay keyboard input, against one or more connections to cut repetitive steps.
- Secure gateway tunneling
- SSH-based tunneling through a secure gateway is built in, and dynamic folders can import connection lists from external sources.
