> # Best remote desktop software for remote teams
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Splashtop Business Access** - My default pick for most distributed teams. Per-user plans run about $6-13/month annually (Solo $6, Pro $8.25, Performance $13 with 4:4:4 color and high frame rates), which is dramatically cheaper than the incumbents for the same core job: letting employees reach their office or lab machines from home. Fast, stable, good multi-monitor handling, straightforward permissions. It's the one that wins on price-to-performance.
> 
> **2. TeamViewer** - The safest "nobody will question this" choice, especially if your team also does IT support or has to connect to clients' machines. Broadest device/platform support, strongest admin and team controls, works through almost any network. Starts around $24.90/month and gets expensive fast as you add concurrent users - you're paying for reach and polish.
> 
> **3. AnyDesk** - Technically excellent and very lightweight; genuinely snappy on bad connections. The caveat is pricing: 2026 plans are roughly $28.90 (Solo), $49.90 (Standard), $111.90 (Advanced), after steep increases over the past two years. P
