How to Choose a Splashtop Alternative
Splashtop offers published per-user pricing with high-fidelity streaming on its Performance tier. But buyers look elsewhere for three main reasons: streaming features are gated to the pricier Performance tier, enterprise features like SSO and SIEM logging require the top Enterprise tier, and on-demand remote support needs a separate SOS product rather than being bundled in. The right replacement depends on which of those pushed you to look.
If a genuinely free plan matters most, Zoho Assist covers that for solo technicians. If flat-rate pricing without feature-tier jumps matters more, AnyDesk offers that structure.
If you want a broader IT add-on ecosystem, TeamViewer extends further than Splashtop's access-and-support focus. Decide whether your gap is pricing structure, free-tier access, or feature breadth, then compare rates.
Splashtop Alternatives Compared
Every published price below was checked against each vendor's own pricing page. Splashtop's own rate starts at $6/user/month (Solo) up to $13/user/month (Performance), with a custom-quoted Enterprise tier.
| Alternative | Best for | Starting price (verified 2026) | Pricing Model | Why teams switch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zoho Assist | Cloud remote support with a genuinely free solo plan | Free for 1 technician; Standard from $10/technician/mo (annual) | Limited | HIPAA eligibility, rebranding, and mobile unattended access all require moving up to the Professional tier or above |
| AnyDesk | Fast, low-latency remote access with flat-rate licensing | Solo from about 22.90 EUR/mo (annual, flat rate) | None | Billing is annual-only as of 2026, with the monthly figure representing the annual cost divided by twelve rather than true month-to-month flexibility |
| TeamViewer | Established remote access with a broad IT add-on ecosystem | Remote Access from $24.90/mo (annual) | None | Pricing requires real research since the vendor page lists license categories without exact numbers, and add-ons (asset management, endpoint protection) each cost extra |
| NinjaOne | RMM platform with remote access, patching, and monitoring built in | Published estimates cite about $1.50-$3.75 per endpoint/mo (volume-tiered) | Custom quote | NinjaOne does not publish pricing, selling instead through a partner channel to protect partner margins, so every real quote requires a sales conversation |
| RemotePC | Straightforward remote access at a low published starting price | Solo from $1.95/mo (annual) | None | Active Directory, SSO, and help desk support modules all require moving up to the pricier Team or Enterprise tier |
| Splashtop (for reference) | Fast, secure device access with published per-user tiers | Solo from $6/user/mo | None | The baseline these alternatives compete with |
How We Scored These Alternatives
Match scores weigh four things: how well the tool covers what Splashtop does well, strength where buyers say it falls short (streaming-feature gating, enterprise-feature gating, and a separate support product), value at typical IT-team sizes, and ease of use. A higher score means a closer fit for the widest range of IT support teams, not that it wins for every use case.
