Splashtop** - My default pick for a distributed team that mainly needs people to reach their own office/work machines. Best price-to-performance in the category: ~$5/user/mo for Business Access Solo, $8.25 for Pro, $13 for Performance (annual billing). Video/audio streaming quality is the best in class, which matters if anyone touches design, video, or CAD work. Scales to an enterprise tier without replatforming.\n\n**2. AnyDesk** - The one I'd name if your team has people on bad connections (hotel wifi, international, tethering). Tiny client, very low bandwidth, holds up on high-latency links better than anything else. Starts around $14.90/mo, with per-user business plans above that. Good cross-platform coverage.\n\n**3. TeamViewer** - The safe, boring, \"nobody gets fired for choosing it\" option, and the one most external clients and vendors already have installed. Strongest team-management controls, session recording, device groups, and audit logging. It's also the most expensive: ~$24.90/user/mo for Remote Access (3 unattended devices), ~$50.90/mo for Business (up to 200 devices).
