Short answer

Most buyers should pick Splashtop.

Choose Splashtop for lower-cost remote access, remote support, or endpoint tools: its Solo plan is $6 per month with annual billing, and SOS support starts at $22 per concurrent technician monthly. Choose GoToMyPC if its per-computer model and straightforward remote access fit your setup, but note Corporate starts at $28 per computer monthly, billed annually, with a five-computer minimum. Splashtop’s free plan is for Packr app deployment, not its core remote-access plans. Learning curve and support details aren’t published in the published material.

02Pricing compared

Splashtop has the lower listed entry price for remote access: Solo is $6 per month with annual billing, and Pro is $8.25 per user per month. Its SOS remote-support plan is listed at $22 per concurrent technician per month. GoToMyPC’s annual rates are $35 per computer monthly for Personal, $33 for Pro, and $28 for Corporate. That $28 rate requires at least five computers and annual billing; Corporate’s monthly price is not published. Personal and Pro monthly prices are $44 and $41.50 per computer, respectively. Splashtop’s free plan applies to Agentic Packr for Intune & SCCM app deployment, up to 100 endpoints—not its core remote-access plans. Check whether you’re comparing per-user, per-technician, or per-computer pricing before switching.

03Features and depth

GoToMyPC is focused on accessing a host computer: its listed features include file transfer, remote printing, guest access, and security tools such as multifactor authentication, SSO, host access codes, and 256-bit AES encryption. It lists access from PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and Chromebook devices. The published pricing details don’t tie those features to specific GoToMyPC plans.

Splashtop covers more use cases. Its Solo plan lists unattended access, file transfer, and remote print; Pro adds multi-monitor support, chat, session recording, and up to three users on one computer. Performance adds 4:4:4 color accuracy, up to 240 FPS, and USB passthrough. Separate offerings cover on-demand remote support, endpoint management, patching, and software deployment. Splashtop also lists two-factor authentication, endpoint MFA, session audit logging, and end-to-end encryption. Some products and add-ons have unpublished prices, so breadth doesn’t mean every capability is included in the access plan.

04Ease of use and learning curve

Neither product’s learning curve or setup process is described in the published material, so we can’t call one easier to use. The pricing and feature listings do show what to clarify before choosing: GoToMyPC prices access per computer, while Splashtop’s plans include per-month, per-user, and per-concurrent-technician units. Splashtop also separates remote access from SOS support and endpoint-management offerings. Decide whether you need to reach your own computers, support other people’s devices, or manage endpoints, then confirm the plan’s device and user limits. Support details and plan-specific setup requirements aren’t published here.

Questions people ask

Is Splashtop safe from hackers?

No remote-access tool can be described as immune to hackers based on these details. Splashtop lists two-factor authentication, endpoint MFA, session audit logging, and end-to-end encryption. Those are security controls, not proof of immunity; the published material doesn’t detail how each applies across plans.

Which is better, LogMeIn Pro or GoToMyPC?

The published information covers GoToMyPC but doesn’t include LogMeIn Pro’s pricing, features, or limits, so we can’t make a grounded comparison. GoToMyPC’s listed annual rates range from $28 to $35 per computer monthly, with Corporate requiring at least five computers.

Which remote desktop is fastest?

The published material contains no comparable speed tests or network benchmarks, so it doesn’t establish which service is fastest. Splashtop’s Performance plan lists up to 240 FPS and 4:4:4 color accuracy, but those specifications don’t prove it will deliver faster connections in every setup.

Is Jump Desktop trustworthy?

The published material doesn’t include information about Jump Desktop’s security, pricing, or track record, so we can’t assess its trustworthiness here. For comparison, GoToMyPC lists multifactor authentication and 256-bit AES encryption; Splashtop lists two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption.
