We believe in transparency. Here's how Remio compares to other remote desktop solutions — honestly, fairly, and with respect for our competitors.
Parsec set the bar for remote gaming. Now Unity owns it. See how an indie, privacy-first alternative compares on the features that matter.
Read Full ComparisonAnyDesk was the lightweight remote desktop everyone loved. But after their 2024 security breach, is your trust well-placed? Compare with a privacy-first alternative.
Read Full ComparisonTeamViewer is the enterprise giant everyone knows. But at $50+/month and breached by state-sponsored hackers twice, is it still the right choice for most people?
Read Full ComparisonMoonlight is free, open-source, and beloved by NVIDIA gamers. But it needs Sunshine for non-NVIDIA GPUs and has no encryption. See how a GPU-agnostic native app compares.
Read Full ComparisonChrome Remote Desktop is free and easy — but requires a Google account, runs in a browser, and Google collects your data. Is "free" really free when you pay with privacy?
Read Full ComparisonRustDesk is open-source and self-hosted — giving you full server control. But it uses Flutter, requires server setup, and lacks AI features. See how native innovation compares.
Read Full ComparisonSplashtop has enterprise cred and MSP tools — but charges enterprise prices, requires accounts, and runs on legacy architecture. See how a modern, privacy-first approach compares.
Read Full ComparisonWe're not afraid of being compared. Remio was built by a solo indie developer with a clear vision: remote desktop should be private, fast, and simple. We don't have a marketing department or a sales team — we have a better product and the confidence to let the facts speak.
Every comparison on this page is factual, verifiable, and fair. We'll tell you where competitors excel and where Remio does things differently.
We can't see your sessions. Your data goes directly between your devices, never through our servers.
No Electron. Built from scratch in Swift, Kotlin, and Go — so it's fast, lightweight, and easy on your battery.
No "commercial use" police. No aggressive upselling. A free plan that actually works without gotchas.
Not owned by Unity, not publicly traded. Our only obligation is to our users.
The best way to compare is to experience it yourself. Download Remio — it's free, no account required, and takes 30 seconds to set up.
