## The answer, as recorded

> # Best remote desktop software for remote teams
> 
> **1. Splashtop** - My default recommendation for most distributed teams. It's the best price-to-performance option by a wide margin: Business Access Pro runs about $8.25/user/month versus TeamViewer's ~$24.90 entry tier, and the cheapest commercial plan starts around $5-6/month. Fast sessions, solid cross-platform support, and it doesn't nag you about "suspected commercial use" the way free tiers elsewhere do.
> 
> **2. TeamViewer** - The safe, boring enterprise pick. Broadest platform coverage (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, ChromeOS), best-in-class unattended access plus on-demand support sessions, and the most mature compliance/audit story. You pay for it - real spend often lands well above list price once add-on modules stack up - but if you need something procurement and your security team will both sign off on immediately, it's this.
> 
> **3. ConnectWise ScreenConnect** - Pick this if your team does *support* rather than just *access*. Licensing is per concurrent technician instead of per endpoint, which is dramatically cheaper when 5 techs cover 500 machines. Standard choice for MSPs and internal IT helpdesks.
> 
> **4. AnyDesk** -
