Our verdict

AnyDesk suits home users who want a free remote access tool and professionals or small teams who will pay a yearly licence for it. Skip it if you want to use it for work without paying, because the free version covers personal use only.

What it does well

  • Free for personal use, per the pricing page FAQ
  • Only the person starting a session needs a licence; participants are free
  • Support page lists Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Android and iOS clients

Where it falls short

  • Paid plans are annual only and renew automatically unless you cancel
  • Free use has limited features and support; professionals need a licence
  • iOS and ChromeOS devices can be viewed or used to connect, not remote controlled
The AnyDesk website
The official AnyDesk website, 16 October 2026.

AnyDesk describes itself as remote access software that connects you from where you are to where you need to be. Its home page lists collaboration, assistance, access and security features, a choice of Cloud or On-Premises deployment, and mobile support. Version 9 is announced there, with session requests, session invitation links and session queues aimed at help desk teams.

The pricing page FAQ says AnyDesk is free for personal use with a limited set of features and support, and that professional users need a licence. Only the person who starts a session needs a licence. The support documentation lists clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi OS, Android, iOS and iPadOS. Remote control of iOS devices is not supported, and ChromeOS devices can be viewed but not controlled.

Paid licences are Solo, Standard, Advanced and Ultimate, billed annually only and renewed automatically unless you tell AnyDesk beforehand. Prices in USD, per month billed annually and excluding VAT: Solo $24.90 (1 user, 1 connection, 100 managed devices), Standard $42.90 (up to 20 users, 500 managed devices) and Advanced $90.90 (2 connections, up to 100 users, 1,000 managed devices). A 20% discount on the first subscription year was shown. Ultimate is quoted individually.
