Alternative

An AnyDesk alternative with monitoring and tickets built in

Fast remote desktop that keeps working on weak links — plus RMM, help-desk tickets and WhatsApp alerts, on a free plan for 20 computers.

Cheaper at every size

Solo is $4 a month, Team covers 5 technicians for $19, Business 15 technicians and 1,000 computers for $49, MSP unlimited for $99.

More than remote control

Monitoring, alerts, scripts, patching, inventory and ticketing come with the product, so small IT teams don't need a second tool.

Your server or ours

Self-host the platform with Docker at no cost, or use the hosted relay network.

Low bandwidth first

Usable from about 150 kbps, with automatic picture repair and reconnect when the network changes.

New: direct, AR and AI

Sessions go peer-to-peer from the browser when the network allows (the relay takes over when it can't), AR camera assist lets you see through a customer's phone with markers that stay on the object, and AI fix diagnoses the computer and drafts a script you approve before it runs. Wake-on-LAN works from anywhere, no port forwarding.
