## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## For most small businesses
> 
> **1. Splashtop** - My default recommendation. It does the core job (fast, low-latency remote access, file transfer, remote print, multi-monitor) at roughly a quarter of TeamViewer's entry price - Solo around $6/mo, Business Access Pro about $8.25/user/mo, Performance ~$13/user/mo billed annually. If you mainly need "get to my office PC from home" or "support a handful of staff machines," this is the best value and there's no real feature you'll miss.
> 
> **2. RemotePC (IDrive)** - Best if you want to license *machines* rather than seats. You buy a computer count, cheap annual pricing, and everyone on the team can reach them. Good for a small office with a fixed fleet of 10-50 PCs. Cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux/iOS/Android), session recording, remote printing.
> 
> **3. TeamViewer** - Worth the premium price ($14.90/mo Professional single-user up to 3 devices; $24.90+/mo for the plans most businesses actually end up on) only if you need the wider toolkit: unattended fleet management, device monitoring, AR-assisted support, integrations with ticketing systems, and - importantly - the fact that your clients and vendors already have it installed.
