Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 13 of the 85 other remote desktop apps we grade
UltraViewer is a Windows program for controlling a partner's computer to give support or teach a class. A session starts when the other person shares an ID and password, and chat and file sending are built in. The site calls it freeware and also sells paid plans that lift limits on devices, sessions and file size.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about UltraViewer, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It installs on Windows and connects with an ID, with little to set up.
- 1
Best for free remote control of Windows PCs
It runs on Windows only, and the pricing page never says what the free version leaves out.
- 2
Paid plans start at $3.99 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $3.99 per license / month, billed annually.
- 3
There is a free plan
The site calls UltraViewer freeware and offers a free download; the pricing page does not list the free version's limits.

- 6
Chat and file sharing
A chat window lets you send and receive files during a session, under the partner's control.

Multi-computer sessions
Controls several computers at once, or shares your screen with several computers, for example in online classes.

The report card
Best for free remote control of Windows PCs
UltraViewer is a remote control program the site calls freeware, with paid licences from $3.99 a month for extra features. It runs on Windows only, and the pricing page never says what the free version leaves out.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Paid plans run $3.99 to $7.99 a month billed yearly, which sits in the middle of the category's $2.78 to $18 range. |
| Free plan and trial | C | The site offers a free download, but the pricing page doesn't state its limits, so we can't say how far you get before paying. |
| Features | C | Remote control, chat, file sharing, multi-computer sessions, wake options and session recording are listed. Lite counts a new device ID each month beyond 3. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. It installs on Windows and connects with an ID, with little to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | D | Windows only, from XP to Windows 11 and Server. No web, Mac, phone or integrations are 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 UltraViewer is for
- Fits if you give remote help to Windows users and want a simple ID-based connection
- Works for one person who needs a few connections at a time
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you use macOS, Linux or a phone, as it runs on Windows only

- Tight if several people need to connect at once, since each licence is for one user at a time
- Watch out: the Lite plan counts a new device ID each month beyond 3
- Pricey if you pay for the extras, as prices are billed annually with a 15-day money-back guarantee

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 UltraViewer 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 $47.88 a year.
What you could not
- A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. UltraViewer’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.
