Workflow coverage and comparison notes

One freelancer remotely controls customer computers through a self-hosted RustDesk OSS rendezvous/relay server for commercial technical support. AnyDesk Free is for personal use; professional support requires a paid licence. Solo includes one licensed user, one concurrent connection, three initiating devices and 100 managed unattended devices. €28.90/month equivalent billed annually, excluding VAT; the current 20% first-year offer is €23.12/month equivalent.

Before you switch

Requires existing hardware or separately paid hosting, electricity, bandwidth, firewall ports and server administration. Free Server OSS has no Pro web console, central user/device management, SSO or API. AGPL obligations apply to modified/network-distributed software. Public relay service is not the basis of this recommendation.
