GoToMyPC just got too pricey for me, too. Been there! So, here’s the rundown on some alternatives that tick all your boxes: ease of use, security, and cross-platform compatibility.
-
TeamViewer - A classic choice. It’s user-friendly and works on both Windows and Mac. Security is top-notch, but it might still be a bit pricey depending on your needs.
-
AnyDesk - Similar to TeamViewer but generally cheaper. It’s fast, reliable, and has a pretty straightforward interface. Ideal for both personal and business use.
-
Chrome Remote Desktop - Free option that’s surprisingly capable. Simple to set up and use but lacks some advanced features you might want for business purposes.
-
HelpWire - This one’s a bit under the radar but very promising. HelpWire offers secure remote access and is super easy to use. Plus, it’s designed for compatibility with both Windows and Mac systems. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something affordable without compromising on quality.
-
Microsoft Remote Desktop - If both your machines are Windows, or you’re okay with a Windows server, then Microsoft Remote Desktop is solid and free.
Each of these has its pros and cons but for me, HelpWire stands out because of its balanced blend of affordability, security, and ease of use. Give it a shot!
