## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For most small businesses I'd start with Splashtop, then look at Zoho Assist, and pay for TeamViewer only if you need its extra features. In the order I'd suggest:
> 
> 1. **Splashtop Business Access**: Best value for giving staff access to their office PCs. Plans start around $6-8.25 per user per month, versus $24.90 per month for TeamViewer's entry plan. It includes file transfer, remote printing and mobile apps. Most of these comparison numbers come from Splashtop's own blog, so check them on the vendor sites.

> 
> 2. **Zoho Assist**: Best if you mainly support employees or customers rather than log into your own desk. The free tier covers one technician and five unattended computers. Paid unattended plans are $10-15 per technician per month. About 88% of its G2 reviewers are small businesses.

> 
> 3. **TeamViewer**: The best-known option, with the most features
