## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-05 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My ranking
> 
> **1. Splashtop** - my default recommendation for most remote teams. It hits the best price-to-performance point: ~$5/mo for solo use, ~$8.25/mo/user for Business Access Pro, and team tiers around $35.90/mo for 20 users. You get 4K/60fps streaming, solid cross-platform support (Windows/Mac/Linux/iOS/Android), file transfer, and SSO/MFA on the business tiers. Teams replacing TeamViewer almost always land here.
> 
> **2. TeamViewer** - pick this if you need breadth rather than just desktop access: unattended access, device management, mobile device support, and the widest OS/device coverage of anything on the list. The catch is price (commercial plans start around $24.90/mo single-user, team plans ~$50.90/mo) and its free tier aggressively flags business use and cuts your connection.
> 
> **3. AnyDesk** - best raw session feel on bad networks. Its DeskRT codec keeps latency low on thin or flaky connections, and the client is tiny. Pro is ~$14.90/mo/user. Fewer management/fleet features than Splashtop or TeamViewer, so it's better for access and ad-hoc support than for administering a fleet.
> 
> **4. ConnectWise ScreenConnect** - the one I'd name if you have compliance requirements
