About Splashtop
Splashtop sells several remote desktop products: Remote Access for individuals and teams reaching their own computers, Remote Support for IT staff and managed service providers, plus endpoint management and education bundles. The core experience is quick unattended access with file transfer, remote printing and multi-monitor support, and the higher tiers add features such as session recording, remote wake and team management. It built its following by being noticeably cheaper than TeamViewer and LogMeIn while covering the same everyday needs, and it is popular with schools and creative studios. Pricing is per user and billed annually, starting with a Solo plan for one person. A free Splashtop Personal app covers access to your own computer on the same home network, but reaching it over the internet needs a subscription. There are apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS and Android.
Best for: Individuals and IT teams who want unattended access at a lower annual price than TeamViewer.
