The TeamViewer alternative that's free for 20 computers

Remote desktop, unattended access, monitoring and help-desk tickets in one product. Five technicians cost $19 a month in total — less than a single TeamViewer licence.

No 'commercial use detected'

The Free plan is for any use, including work: 20 computers and one technician, forever. When you need more, Solo is $4 a month and Team (5 technicians, 200 computers) is $19 a month.

Built for bad connections

Sessions stay usable from around 150 kbps and degrade gracefully instead of freezing. The viewer reconnects by itself when a laptop moves between Wi-Fi, 5G and VPN.

RMM and ticketing included

Monitoring, alerts, scripts, patching and help-desk tickets are part of every plan, Free included — they're separate products or higher tiers elsewhere.

Self-host or use ours

Run the whole platform on your own server for free with Docker, or use the hosted service. Same features either way.

Everything you use daily

Multi-monitor, file transfer, clipboard sync, chat, switch sides, sound, privacy screen, block input, virtual monitors for headless PCs, and Wake-on-LAN.

Know when something breaks

Get a WhatsApp message when a computer goes offline or comes back, or when a monitoring alert fires (20 messages a month on Free).

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.
