## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks
> 
> **1. Splashtop** - Best default for most remote teams. ~$8.25/user/mo (Pro) for unattended access to work machines, and the Performance tier (~$13/user/mo) does 4:4:4 color, up to 240 fps and USB passthrough, which is what you actually want if anyone on the team touches video, CAD or design work. Cheapest credible per-seat pricing of the big three.

> 
> **2. TeamViewer** - Best if the use case is IT supporting a distributed workforce rather than employees reaching their own desks. Widest OS/device coverage (including mobile and embedded), strongest session-handoff and attended-support tooling, and the admin/group-permission model scales. Costs more - from ~$24.90/mo - and licensing is per-concurrent-session, which bites if many people need simultaneous access. ([TeamViewer](https://www.teamviewer.com/en/special/top-10-remote-desktop-software-solutions/))
> 
> **3. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop / Windows 365** - Pick this instead of the above if your team needs *desktops*, not access to existing PCs. Nothing
