If you\u2019re searching for a remote desktop solution, you\u2019ve probably stumbled upon GoToMyPC. But, how easy is it to work out if the GoToMyPC pricing model will provide value for you?<\/span><\/p>

GoToMyPC is a popular remote desktop software that enables you to connect to and use desktop computers from any remote location. For example, you can securely connect to your work computer from your home office laptop. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

But if you’re looking for a remote access solution that your IT help desk can also use to provide remote support, GoToMyPC may not be the best choice. GoTo, the company behind GoToMyPC, offers different products for remote support and remote monitoring and management.<\/span><\/p>

So is GoToMyPC the best solution for the job, or would you be better off with an alternative?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In this article, we\u2019ll take a look at the three different GoToMyPC pricing plans and compare the features and functions included in each one to see whether they offer good value for money or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>

What are the GoToMyPC Cost Options?<\/span><\/h2>

How much does GoToMyPC cost? We\u2019ve broken down the three subscription plans they offer\u2014Personal, Pro, and Corporate\u2014to help you decide which GoToMyPC price plan could be the best fit for your needs.<\/p>

GoToMyPC does offer a seven-day free trial, so you can test out plans before deciding. It’s also important to note that all three plans require an annual contract, but the Personal and Pro tiers allow for monthly billing at a slightly higher fee.<\/p>

Personal Plan<\/h3>

GoToMyPC\u2019s Personal plan is $44.00 per computer, per month if billed yearly. As this plan is designed for personal use, it allows a maximum of one licensed user. So, you\u2019re looking at $528 a year for an individual account, which is pretty steep. Not only that, but it costs more than the Pro plan but has fewer features. No other remote access solution organizes its pricing in this way, so it’s confusing, to say the least.<\/p>

If we take a look at alternative remote desktop software<\/a>, such as RealVNC\u00ae Connect, the price difference becomes startlingly obvious. RealVNC\u2019s Essentials plan is $8.25 per device per month, totaling $99 per year.<\/p>

Other competitors also have considerably cheaper basic plans. So, it\u2019s worth considering alternative options if you\u2019re on a budget.<\/p>

That said, GoToMyPC\u2019s Personal plan lets you connect up to 20 remote computers. Plus, you get unlimited remote access<\/a>, meaning that an individual can connect to a remote computer as often as they need to for one flat rate. This is definitely something you want in a personal remote desktop solution. You can access it from various devices, including an Android phone, iPad, and iPhone.<\/p>

Pro Plan<\/span><\/h3>

The Pro plan starts at $41.50 per computer, per month if paid annually. This plan supports multiple computers, making it suitable for small teams, with the total annual cost being $996 due to the two-computer minimum. This cost can quickly become a budget concern if you’re a small business that needs additional computers.<\/p>

Again, this is expensive compared to the RealVNC pricing<\/a> option. RealVNC\u2019s Plus plan is priced at $16.50 per active connection per month, totaling $198 per year for one concurrent session, unlimited users, and up to 50 devices. So, if you\u2019re a small team with flexible remote access needs, this could be a good choice for you.<\/p>

Corporate Plan<\/span><\/h3>

Priced at $28.00 per computer, per month, the Corporate plan is designed for large businesses that need remote connections to a minimum of five remote computers. So, in total, you\u2019re looking at an annual cost of $1,680. Although the company’s pricing page mentions a monthly cost, the Corporate plan can only be billed annually.<\/p>

How does this GoToMyPC corporate pricing compare to other remote desktop plans? Well, RealVNC\u2019s Premium plan is $29.75 per active connection per month. That plan includes unlimited users and up to 150 devices, so that\u2019s a pretty substantial cost difference.<\/p>

However, GoToMyPC doesn’t specify the number of concurrent sessions the Corporate plan allows, so it\u2019s worth looking into if you\u2019re a large business that will need multiple concurrent sessions.<\/p>

What are the Top Features Included With GoToMyPC Remote Access Software Plans?<\/h2>

It\u2019s fair to say that the GoToMyPC license costs for their Personal, Pro, and Corporate plans are fairly high. But are they good value for money? Let\u2019s see what features each of the three GoToMyPC pricing plans has to offer. Compared to other remote access software, GoToMyPC stands out with its speed, bandwidth settings, and robust security features like 256-bit encryption and two-factor authentication.<\/p>

Standard Features Available in the Personal Plan<\/span><\/h3>

File transfer and remote printing<\/h4>

In the Personal GoToMyPC monthly subscription, you will get all the core features you need to improve remote working capabilities for your business. The two standouts are file transfer and remote printing.<\/p>

Using the file transfer feature, you can transfer files or synchronize folders between computers to increase your accessibility. You can also use the remote print feature to print documents on a remote computer over the internet.<\/p>

Multi-monitor support<\/h4>

Are you used to using multiple monitors at work but only have one screen at home? GoToMyPC\u2019s multi-monitor support allows you to connect to multiple monitors and view their full displays. You can also hear audio from your remote device.<\/p>

Cross-platform access<\/h4>

Even on the Personal plan, you can access your remote PC<\/a> from a Windows or Mac device with full functionality\u2014even if you\u2019re connecting cross-platform. There\u2019s also a mobile app that lets you connect to your remote device from your iPad<\/a>, iPhone, or Android devices, which is handy if you\u2019re on the move.<\/p>

However, it should be noted that, unlike solutions like RealVNC, GoToMyPC doesn\u2019t support Linux<\/a> on any of its plans. This is obviously a major deal breaker if you\u2019re an avid Linux user.<\/p>

Security features<\/h4>

The Personal plan gives you a range of desirable security features, including end-to-end 256-bit encryption. So, you can be confident that your connections and data remain protected even if you\u2019re just using the solution for personal use.<\/p>

Other notable security features include multi-factor authentication and complimentary antivirus software. You also get screen blanking, remote lock and disconnect, and remote device keyboard and mouse lock. These features are designed to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing sensitive information on your remote device<\/a>.<\/p>

Customer support<\/h4>

Compared to other providers, GoToMyPC\u2019s customer support stands out as one of the most accessible. As well as a self-service knowledge base and community forum, GoToMyPC also offers 24\/7 telephone support for every customer, which is very useful if you need help outside of office hours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Added Account Administration With Pro<\/h3>

Next up is the Pro plan. As well as all the features included in the Personal plan, the Pro plan offers a number of administration features to support small and medium teams that require admin access to several computers.<\/p>

Administration features<\/h4>

The Pro plan allows an administrator to control user privileges and roles to maximize security and organizational efficiency. You also get centralized billing capabilities to streamline your financial management. Additionally, the Pro plan supports mobile devices, enhancing its flexibility<\/a>.<\/p>

Another useful feature is user monitoring and reporting. You can track how often employees use the remote desktop solution<\/a> and get some handy metrics. For example, GoToMyPC can track connection durations, origins, and types. This data can then be compiled into helpful reports.<\/p>

Corporate Provides Robust Functionality <\/span><\/h3>

Designed for large businesses, the corporate plan includes all the features you get in the Personal and Pro plans, as well as a range of features that you don\u2019t.<\/p>

Additional core features<\/h4>

Real-time chat is a standout Corporate-plan-only feature that gives you in-session chat capabilities. This is incredibly useful if you provide remote IT support<\/a> to employees or customers, as it can facilitate faster resolutions.<\/p>

Other notable Corporate-only-plan features include Wake on LAN, which lets you wake up a remote computer on a LAN connection, and there\u2019s also an In-Session Reboot feature to streamline your ability to remotely access and manage devices.<\/p>

Administration features<\/h4>

With the Corporate plan, you can appoint multiple administrators instead of just one, which is essential for medium\/large businesses. You can also perform a number of sophisticated admin tasks that aren\u2019t possible with the cheaper plans.<\/p>

For example, you can:<\/p>
