STOA's Verdict

AnyDesk is a reliable, fast remote desktop tool that punches above its weight for small businesses. If you need to access your office computer from home, provide IT support to your team, or manage devices across locations, it does the job well without the bloated pricing of enterprise alternatives. The Solo plan at $23/month is reasonable for individual use. The main downside is the lack of any AI features and no free tier for business — but for straightforward remote access, it is hard to beat on speed and simplicity.
