Apps run on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, iOS and Android. A free Personal app covers up to two non-work computers on your home Wi-Fi, and a cheap personal pack extends it across the internet.

## Key features

- **Unattended access to your own computers:** Install the Streamer on a computer and reach it later from a phone, tablet or another computer, with file transfer and remote print.
- **On-demand support by session code:** Remote Support SOS lets a technician connect to any computer or mobile device the user opens a session code on, with or without someone present on managed machines.
- **High-performance streaming:** The Performance plan adds 4:4:4 color, up to 240 frames per second, high-fidelity audio, Wacom stylus support and USB passthrough for creative work.

## Good for

- Reaching a home computer from the couch at no cost, or from anywhere for a small yearly fee
- People working from home who need their office computer from another device
- Designers and video editors who need accurate color and a stylus over a remote link
- IT teams and MSPs supporting staff or customers by concurrent technician

## Worth knowing

- Splashtop Personal is free only on your home network and only for non-commercial use; working from home needs a business plan.
- Business plan prices are shown only as annual billing on the pricing page.
- Remote Support SOS is priced per concurrent technician, with the number of managed computers capped by the option you buy (10 or 300 per licence, up to 1,200).
- Enterprise, with single sign-on, APIs and the on-premises option, has no public price and is quoted by sales.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Splashtop covers the lot: cheap access to your own computers, a Performance plan with accurate colour for creative work, and SOS for help desks. It's also the best-rated app on record in this category. The free Personal app only works on your home Wi-Fi, though, so reaching your PC from anywhere means paying from day one.

- **Value for money: C.** Remote Support SOS is $22 per concurrent technician a month billed annually: $259 a year with 10 managed computers, or $399 with 300. For the same job that's mid-pack, above Zoho Assist and below TeamViewer's Business. For your own computers, the Anywhere Access Pack is only $23.99 a year.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Splashtop Personal is free, but only on your home network, for up to 2 computers and never for work. Working from home counts as work. Business plans have a free trial with no card, though its length isn't stated.
- **Features: B.** Unattended access, support by session code, file transfer, remote print, and a Performance plan with 4:4:4 colour, 240 frames per second, Wacom pens and USB passthrough. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job; single sign-on and the APIs wait for Enterprise.
- **Ease of use: A.** 4.81 from 4,713 App Store ratings for its Business app, the best on record in this category. Install the Streamer on a computer and reach it from anything.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone and Android, with Intune, Jira, Freshservice, Jamf, Atera and Datto RMM. There's no web app on record, which keeps it at B, and the APIs are Enterprise only.

These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Splashtop's own pages on 18 October 2026, and its App Store rating. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Splashtop 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 10 of the 15 other remote desktop apps we grade. It costs $23.99 a year.

- You could not: A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft Intune, Jira and Freshservice among them, and has an API.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
