Packages cost $1,490 for up to 50 remote PCs and $2,490 for up to 100. Larger package prices are not published. Radmin also offers a 30-day trial. Compare Hamachi’s recurring network pricing with Radmin’s per-PC perpetual licenses, and factor in Radmin’s connection cap.

Hamachi creates hosted virtual networks for connecting remote computers to network resources. It supports mesh, hub-and-spoke, and gateway layouts, plus web management, unattended access, and client software deployment. The service lists AES 256-bit encryption for communications over public and private networks. Its clearest fit is connecting computers as part of a shared virtual network; the free option caps each network at five computers.

Radmin is remote desktop software for support, access, and system administration on networked computers. Its listed features include unattended access, remote server maintenance, work-from-anywhere access to an office computer, and control optimized for low-bandwidth connections such as 3G. It also lists AES-256 encryption and a free utility for installing Radmin with presets on user PCs. The standard license covers one remote computer, while five simultaneous connections are included by default. Radmin focuses on controlling individual PCs, not creating Hamachi-style virtual network topologies. Choose based on whether staff need network connectivity between computers or remote control of them.

The setup decisions differ. With Hamachi, the key choice is how to organize the virtual network: mesh, hub-and-spoke, or gateway. Its web management and remote software deployment can help administer networks without visiting each computer, according to the listed features. Check the computer cap for the plan before rolling it out.

Radmin’s free utility can install the software with presets on user PCs, which may simplify deployment. But buyers still need to account for the number of remote PCs and the default five simultaneous connections. The pricing page lists an additional 5-Client Access License, but not its price. Neither product is a direct substitute for the other, so the learning curve depends largely on whether you are setting up shared network access or remote-support workflows.
