## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My actual picks, in order
> 
> **1. Splashtop Business Access** - What I'd start with for most remote teams. It's the price/feature sweet spot: entry pricing around $8.25/user/month, dropping to roughly $4.50/user/month at volume (50 users). Fast enough for real work (4K, 60fps), good multi-monitor support, and the per-user licensing model is predictable - you're not buying "channels" or paying for add-ons to unlock basics. It's widely named the best fit for small-to-midsize businesses.
> 
> **2. TeamViewer** - The pick if you need breadth more than cheapness. Widest platform coverage (including mobile device control, which most rivals handle poorly), strong unattended access, mature file transfer, and it's the tool your vendors and contractors already have installed. The catch is cost and licensing friction: business tiers run ~$39/month for a single user and team plans jump to ~$113/month (15 users) and ~$230/month (30 users), always billed annually.
> 
> **3. AnyDesk** - Choose this specifically for bad networks. Its codec is the best of the group at staying responsive on weak or high-latency connections, so it's what I'd pick for a team spread across regions with unreliable internet. Pr
