## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-20 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Remote desktop" splits into two different problems, so here's both - but if you just want someone's work computer reachable from home, start at the top of the first list.
> 
> ## Remote access to real machines (the common case)
> 
> **1. Splashtop** - my default recommendation for most remote teams. Best price-to-performance by a wide margin: commercial plans start around $6-8.25/user/month versus TeamViewer's ~$24.90 entry tier, and it's genuinely fast on high-res displays with decent video/audio streaming. Flat per-user pricing instead of per-device means costs stay predictable as the team grows.

> 
> **2. TeamViewer** - the one to pick if you need enterprise polish: broadest platform coverage (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android), mature unattended access, SSO/SCIM, conditional access, and real SLAs. It's the enterprise default and priced like it - verified median real spend lands around $10K/year once add-ons stack up. Worth it if procurement and compliance care about the name; overkill for a 15-person team. ([teamviewer.com](https://www.teamviewer.c
