> # Best remote desktop software for remote teams
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. Splashtop** - My default pick for most remote teams. Starts around $6/mo (Solo), ~$8.25/user/mo for Pro, and it does the things teams actually need: file transfer, session recording, multi-monitor, unattended access to office machines. The Performance tier (~$13/user/mo) adds 4:4:4 color and up to 240fps, which matters if you have designers or video editors remoting into workstations. Best price-to-capability ratio in the category by a wide margin.
> 
> **2. TeamViewer** - The one to pick if you need breadth and don't want to justify the tool to anyone. Broadest device/platform support, strongest mobile support, good team/permission controls, and it's the incumbent IT departments already know. Downside is price: roughly $24.90/mo at entry and up to ~$229.90/mo for enterprise tiers. Worth it mainly if you're supporting external clients' machines or heterogeneous hardware.
> 
> **3. Zoho Assist** - Best choice if your use case is *support* rather than *working remotely* - i.e., your team helps colleagues or customers fix their machines. Cheap, broad platform coverage, usable free tier, and it
