## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them for a small business, and why:
> 
> **1. Splashtop - best price-to-performance for most small businesses.**
> Business Access Solo is about $6/month (billed yearly) for one user, and Business Access Pro runs ~$8.25/user/month annually with multi-monitor and concurrent-session support. For SMBs it delivers essentially the same day-to-day functionality as TeamViewer at roughly 50-75% of the cost, and it consistently scores well on performance and reliability in third-party reviews. If you're just accessing 10-50 office machines from home or the road, this is where I'd start.

> 
> **2. RemotePC (by IDrive) - best budget pick for small teams with a fixed number of computers.**
> It's licensed per computer rather than per technician, which is cheap and predictable if you have a known set of office PCs and don't need help-desk features. Widely recommended specifically for small teams connecting to work devices from home or the office. ([business.com](https://www.business.com/categories/best-remote-pc-access-software/))

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited.
