## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-06 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. Splashtop** - My default pick for most remote teams. It's the best price-to-performance ratio in the category: ~$5-8.25/user/month for Solo/Pro, $13/user for Performance (4:4:4 color, 60fps), with annual billing. You get unattended access to office machines, multi-monitor, file transfer, and per-user/per-computer access grouping without enterprise-tier pricing. If your team is "people who need to reach their office desktops from home," this is the answer.
> 
> **2. AnyDesk** - Nearly identical pricing to Splashtop ($5 Solo / $8.25 Pro / $13 Performance) but noticeably better on bad networks. Its DeskRT codec holds up on low-bandwidth or high-latency links better than anything else I'd name, so pick it over Splashtop if your team is distributed across continents or working off hotel/mobile connections.
> 
> **3. TeamViewer** - The widest platform coverage (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, Android, embedded/IoT) and the most mature session management, device grouping, and conditional access. The catch is price: it starts around $24.90/month and jumps steeply to ~$127/month for multi-user tiers. Worth it if you need breadth, vendor stab
