Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 28 of the 35 other remote desktop apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Royal TS, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's two separate products, and Royal Server is licensed separately.
- 1
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.
- 2
What it costs
Paid plans start at €49 one-time per user for Windows or macOS.
- 3
There is a free plan
Lite edition at €0: up to 10 connections, 10 credentials and 1 document.
- 4
It runs on 4 platforms
Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 28 of 35
That is against the other remote desktop apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | €49 one time per user, under a year of the $10.00 middle subscription for remote access tools. It includes 1 year of maintenance, and prices exclude VAT. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Lite is free with up to 10 connections, 10 credentials and 1 document, a cap you'll reach once you manage more machines. |
| Features | B | Many connection types, credential management, shareable documents, tasks and secure gateway tunneling. Nothing in the listing is missing for a connection manager. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You build your connection documents and credentials before it's useful. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, with TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V, PuTTY, KeePass and LastPass links. No web version is listed. |
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.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- IT staff managing many servers over RDP, SSH and VNC
- Teams that want shared connection lists without shared passwords
- Buyers who prefer a one-time license to 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.

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 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.
