Whether you need to reach your home PC while traveling or access an office computer from home, there are plenty of remote desktop apps to consider. TeamViewer, AnyDesk and Chrome Remote Desktop are among the options, but the best fit depends on how you plan to use them.
Start with your use case
You might need to access your own computers, help a family member, or work across multiple monitors. Before comparing prices, check each provider’s terms for personal and business use and see which features are included in its free plan.
Four things to compare
1. Personal or business use. AirDesk Free and Pro are personal-use plans. Free supports up to five registered personal computers; Pro has no registration limit. Organizations can explore Teams or Enterprise.
2. Multiple displays. Check whether you can switch between remote monitors or open them in separate windows. AirDesk also offers virtual displays on supported hosts.
3. Device compatibility. Confirm that both the computer you are using and the computer you want to access meet the app’s operating system and hardware requirements.
4. Access permissions. Viewing a screen and controlling the mouse and keyboard are different permissions. Review who can connect and whether clipboard access or other capabilities should be enabled.
Getting started with AirDesk Free
For personal use, AirDesk Free offers core remote access. Install the app on both computers, sign in, set up the necessary access permissions and test the connection. The remote computer must be powered on, and connectivity depends on the network environment. File sharing, pen input and virtual displays have plan, device or permission requirements.
