AnyDesk Pricing at a Glance
AnyDesk displays monthly equivalents, but its billing documentation , updated October 13, 2026, specifies that full annual subscriptions are paid upfront. The following USD figures come from AnyDesk's official pricing page and were checked November 6, 2026, with the annual amount each time calculated from the current official promotional price.
| Plan | Displayed monthly equivalent | Annual amount | What is included | Main limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Only | AnyDesk Solo: £23.12 per month under the first-year promotion; £28.90 per month list equivalent. | AnyDesk Solo: £277.44 for the first subscription year. | One licensed user, one outgoing connection, and 100 managed devices | Concurrency cannot be expanded |
| Standard | AnyDesk Standard: £39.92 per month under the first-year promotion; £49.90 per month list equivalent. | AnyDesk Standard: £479.04 for the first subscription year. | Up to 20 licensed users, one outgoing connection, and 500 managed devices | Additional simultaneous sessions cost extra |
| Advanced | AnyDesk Advanced: £89.52 per month under the first-year promotion; £111.90 per month list equivalent. | AnyDesk Advanced: £1,074.24 for the first subscription year. | Up to 100 licensed users, two outgoing connections, and 1,000 managed devices | Value depends on management needs, not only concurrency |
| Ultimate | Quote-based | Quote-based | Custom configuration and 2,000 managed devices shown on the public comparison page. | Exact licensing and commercial terms require a vendor quote |
The 20% reduction shown on AnyDesk's official pricing page on November 6, 2026 applies to the first subscription year. The current list equivalents are useful for comparison modelling, but they do not establish future renewal prices. Taxes, currency conversion, regional checkout terms, implementation labour and later price changes are excluded. .
AnyDesk Pricing Plans and License Limits
The main purchasing mistake is to read a user allowance as simultaneous technician capacity. Indeed, AnyDesk treats licensed users, outgoing connections, registered initiating devices, and managed remote endpoints as different measurements.
Only
AnyDesk Solo is designed for one professional user initiating remote sessions. AnyDesk's license documentation lists one non-scalable outgoing connection, three registered devices from which that user can initiate connections, and 100 managed devices configured for unattended access.
The three registered devices are quite distinct from the 100 managed endpoints. The first figure covers the user's initiating devices, while the second covers remote computers managed through unattended access.
Decision rule: Choose Solo only when a unique business user initiates sessions and never needs more than one active outgoing session at a time.
Standard
AnyDesk Standard supports up to 20 licensed users, but it includes only one simultaneous outgoing connection by default. Several authorised technicians can share the plan's capacity, but only one can have an outgoing session active unless an additional connection is purchased.
The AnyDesk Standard plan is displayed at $39.92 per month equivalent under their current promotion. An additional AnyDesk Standard concurrent connection is displayed at $44.90 per month, billed annually.
This official add-on price has evolved since older third-party pricing pages. Procurement calculations should use prices directly from their official website.
Advanced
AnyDesk Advanced includes two simultaneous outgoing connections, supports up to 100 licensed users, and allows 1,000 managed devices. It should not be described simply as Standard with another connection because the official plan comparison also differentiates deployment, administration and management capabilities.
For two overlapping sessions: Compare Advanced with Standard plus one additional connection. Then choose according to both total cost and the management capabilities your team actually requires.
Ultimate
AnyDesk Ultimate is quote-based, according to the official AnyDesk pricing detail. The public comparison shows an allowance of 2,000 managed devices, but the exact user capacity, deployment configuration, support, identity requirements and add-on terms should be confirmed in a written quote.
Before contacting sales, document your licensed users, peak sessions, managed endpoints, identity requirements, deployment model, external-customer workflow, and support expectations. This will give AnyDesk enough context to specify the applicable agreement rather than quoting an unsuitable default configuration.
How AnyDesk counts users, connections, and devices
AnyDesk's official license and concurrency documentation defines four measurements that can constrain a purchase:
- Licensed user: A person authorised to initiate commercial outgoing sessions.
- Concurrent connection: An outgoing session active at the same time as another outgoing session.
- Registered device: A device from which a licensed user initiates sessions.
- Managed device: A remote endpoint configured for unattended access.
AnyDesk Software GmbH argues in its September 11, 2025 concurrency documentation that organizations can pay for the connections they need instead of licensing every authorised user for simultaneous activity. The practical benefit depends on accurate usage data. If five technicians are authorised but no more than two work at once, concurrency-based capacity may avoid buying five simultaneous sessions. If peak use is underestimated, technicians may have to wait or the organisation may need add-ons.
- Count everyone who initiates commercial sessions.
- Measure the highest number of overlapping outgoing sessions.
- Count registered initiating devices and unattended managed endpoints separately.
- Add the deployment, administration, identity and support capabilities required before selecting the lowest qualifying plan.
Is AnyDesk Free for Personal Use?
Yes, for non-business usage. AnyDesk's Professional and Personal Use page permits free use for personal, non-commercial activity. Work-related access, paid support activity and access to a work device require a commercial licence.
What AnyDesk Free allows
Personal use could include helping a family member with their personal computer or accessing your own private device for a non-work purpose. Connecting to an employer's computer, administering business systems, or providing support as part of paid work falls on the commercial side of AnyDesk's published distinction.
The purpose of the connection matters more than work location or connection frequency Occasional business access remains business access.
Limitations of the free version
AnyDesk's support documentation published May 5, 2026 says free sessions may time out and can be restarted. A paid license removes session timeouts. But, primarily, t The free version also does not grant the commercial-use rights required for work-related activity.
| Question | AnyDesk Free | Paid AnyDesk licence |
|---|---|---|
| Permitted purpose | Personal, non-commercial activity | Commercial activity within the purchased license terms |
| Session timeouts | Sessions may time out and can be restarted | Paid licensing removes session timeouts |
| Business licensing | Not included | Included according to the applicable plan and agreement |
| Management needs | Not positioned as a business management licence | Plan-specific user, connection, device, and administration capacity |
The AnyDesk business trial
AnyDesk's terms A business trial may last from 14 to 30 days. This range is not a promise that every buyer receives the same duration. Check the applicable offer, record its end date, and review its conversion and cancellation terms before activation.
Hidden Costs and Variables Behind an AnyDesk License
The headline monthly equivalent is only one part of the AnyDesk cost. Concurrency, device limits, annual cash flow, add-ons, renewal administration, and internal governance can change either the invoice or the practical value of a plan.
Additional concurrent connections
Peak simultaneous use is often the largest direct scaling variable for a support team. One additional concurrent connection for AnyDesk Standard or AnyDesk Advanced is displayed at £44.90 per month. That equals £538.80 per additional connection per year at the checked official price.
Annual cost formula: annual base plan amount plus the number of additional connections multiplied by £44.90 monthly (AnyDesk Standard or Advanced add-on price, as checked 6 November 2026) then multiplied by 12.
Managed endpoints and initiating devices
At the time of writing, the public managed-device allowances are 100 for Solo, 500 for Standard, 1,000 for Advanced, and 2,000 for Ultimate. These are devices configured for unattended access, not necessarily the computers technicians use to start sessions.
If the required endpoint count exceeds a plan's allowance, the organization may need another plan, an add-on, or a vendor conversation. Any charge that is not published should be treated as quote-based rather than estimated.
Annual payment and renewal exposure
AnyDesk's billing documentation stipulates The annual amount is paid upfront. Also, any cancellation generally must occur at least 30 days before renewal unless the customer's agreement specifies otherwise. AnyDesk's terms describe 12-month initial and renewal periods and allow for possible fee changes.
A sound renewal record should identify:
- the contract owner,
- renewal date,
- notice deadline,
- active users,
- observed peak sessions
- managed-device count,
- purchased add-ons
- and the price stated in the renewal notice.
The current list price may be a useful planning assumption but is not a substitute for the actual renewal notice.
Add-ons, deployment and support requirements
Identity integration, deployment tooling, custom configurations, support expectations and on-premises requirements may affect which AnyDesk tier or add-on is needed. The public plan comparison should be checked against your technical requirements. rather than assuming every capability is included in the base amount.
Where AnyDesk does not publish a price, request it in writing. The same applies when an MSP, reseller, integrator or independent software vendor supports external customers. Indeed, because the public sources reviewed do not establish every possible external-customer licensing scenario.
Administration and governance
Deployment and governance consume internal time even when they do not create a separate vendor line item. The US Government Accountability Office's March 25, 2026 software-license management guidance recommends maintaining a centralized license inventory, comparing actual use with purchasing records, and identifying excess or insufficient capacity. The GAO did not evaluate AnyDesk specifically, but its method applies to any subscription planning.
Remote support software is not a pricing risk, but rather a legitimate technology. Still, 2023 joint guidance published by CISA, NSA, FBI, MS-ISAC and the Israel National Cyber Directorate recommends inventorying remote access tools, restricting authorized use, patching them, logging activity and monitoring access. Budget for access policies, endpoint inventory, authentication evaluation, logging, user awareness and renewal administration.
A One-year and Three-year AnyDesk Cost Example
The following teaching example is an illustration calculated from AnyDesk's public prices for illustration purposes alone. It is not a vendor quote or a forecast of future renewal invoices.
Illustration:
- eight technicians,
- two simultaneous sessions
- and 300 managed endpoints
Assume eight technicians initiate commercial sessions, no more than two sessions overlap, and 300 endpoints need unattended management. The team fits within Standard's 20-user and 500-device limits, but it needs one additional connection. Advanced also qualifies because it includes two connections and supports the assumed user and endpoint counts.
| Option | First-year cost | Modeled cost for each later year | Illustrative three-year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| AnyDesk Standard plus one additional connection | £1,017.84 for AnyDesk Standard in year one (£479.04 promotional year + £538.80 add-on). | £1,137.60 per modelled year for AnyDesk Standard (£598.80 + £538.80 connection add-on). | $3,293.04 over three years for the modelled AnyDesk Standard configuration. |
| AnyDesk Advanced | £1,074.24 for AnyDesk Advanced in year one. | $1,342.80 per modelled later year for AnyDesk Advanced. | £3,759.84 over three years for the modelled AnyDesk Advanced configuration. |
| TSplus Remote Support, 2 concurrent connections (or 8) | 2 channels: $192.00 (8 channels: $576.00) | 2 channels: $384.00 (8: $1,152.00) | 2 channels: $476.00 (8: $2,728.00) |
This projection’s prices are calculated from official prices checked 6 November 2026 and take into account the promotion available at the time on the first year. This assumes additional-connection price does not change and excludes taxes, implementation labour, currency changes and add-ons. These assumptions make the options comparable, yet do not predict AnyDesk's future renewal invoice. .
Where TSplus Remote Support is concerned, there is no limit on either devices or users, so two channels could suffice, bringing the bill down below £500 for three years with the possibility of modulating one concurrent connection at a time if ever the need came.
What the arithmetic does not decide
The model places Standard plus one connection below Advanced under the stated assumptions. That does not automatically make Standard the appropriate configuration. Advanced may provide better value when the organisation needs its higher user capacity, larger managed-device allowance, deployment capabilities or administration features.
We recommend choosing the plan that fits the actual use case, environment and budget, rather than automatically opting for the highest tier or lowest calculated amount.
When is AnyDesk Good Value and When Another Model May Fit Better
AnyDesk is a strong fit for lightweight remote control
AnyDesk is a strong product for lightweight remote control and may remain the better fit for teams aligned with its licensing and operating model. Its main paid tiers have public self-service pricing, and its concurrency model can authorise several users without requiring all of them to work simultaneously.
That model can suit a solo administrator, a small helpdesk with limited overlap, or an organization already standardised on AnyDesk's management approach. The key is to measure concurrent use rather than multiplying the headline amount by every technician.
Look beyond AnyDesk when concurrency or endpoint rules drive the bill
Compare alternatives when many technicians need several simultaneous sessions, when a large endpoint estate exceeds the selected plan's allowance, or when you prefer a different licensing unit. A different product may also fit better when your required deployment model or administration capabilities are not available in the qualifying AnyDesk tier.
The comparison should include renewals, add-ons, administration time and required capabilities. Total value stems from their combination with prices. .
Do not use a remote support tool to solve application delivery
Use this distinction too: If a technician needs to see or control a user's own device, compare remote support products. If users need to open Windows applications or desktops running on a central machine, application publishing and remote access is worth evaluating instead .
Though some organizations need both categories, avoid stretching one tool into a job it was not designed to perform. .
AnyDesk Alternatives at a Comparable Level
TSplus Remote Support for attended and unattended assistance
TSplus Remote Support is the relevant alternative to Anydesk when the requirement is screen sharing, remote control, and attended or unattended assistance. We develop our software for IT and support teams helping users on remote Windows PCs and have built mac and Android compatibility into it by popular demand.
TSplus Remote Support is priced per concurrent session. For example, the five concurrent connection annual subscription is £360 per year, equivalent to £6 per concurrent connection per month at time of writing. Still, in our mission to make IT simple, no matter the “tier” TSplus Remote Support provides unlimited users, unlimited unattended managed devices, and unlimited devices to connect to.
| Comparison point | AnyDesk public team plans | TSplus Remote Support |
|---|---|---|
| Primary licensing constraint | Licensed users, outgoing concurrent connections, registered devices, managed devices | Concurrent remote-support channels |
| Included concurrency | One for Standard and two for Advanced | As many as channels subscribed |
| User and endpoint limits | Plan-specific allowances | Unlimited users, unattended managed devices, and devices to connect to |
| Billing period | Annual subscription paid upfront | Annual subscription |
This is a licensing-model comparison, not a claim of feature parity. Choose according to your team's requirements , preferred operating model or supported environments, or to specific management capabilities available.
Compare TSplus Remote Support pricing by concurrent session where your support team needs several technicians and a large number of managed endpoints.
A trial of our software lasts 15 days and begins with the first outbound connection (see our documentation A subscription is required for outbound remote-control sessions once the trial period ends.
Note on self hosting TSplus Remote Support
The public TSplus Remote Support offer described above is a subscription. Self-hosting is available upon direct contact with TSplus sales or an official reseller. Note the FAQs at the foot of our official pricing page specify Self-hosting TSplus Remote Support requires at least 50 concurrent connections.
Opt for TSplus Remote Access when the real need is application delivery
TSplus Remote Access belongs to a different category. It publishes centralised Windows applications and full desktops to remote users and is thus relevant when users need to run applications hosted on a central Windows machine rather than receive technician-led support on their own devices. Still, it is not a like-for-like AnyDesk remote-support substitute.
A Practical Remote Support Buying Checklist
- Confirm the requirement is remote support rather than centralised application or desktop delivery.
- Count the people who initiate commercial outgoing sessions.
- Measure peak overlapping sessions from actual helpdesk usage.
- Separately count registered initiating devices and unattended managed endpoints.
- List required deployment, identity, administration and support capabilities.
- Record the annual invoice, renewal date, contract owner and 30-day notice deadline.
- Compare the lowest qualifying plan with add-ons against the next tier over one and three years.
- Request written terms for quote-based, MSP, reseller, integrator or ISV workflows.
To Conclude
The correct choice follows the full operating requirement, not the lowest displayed monthly equivalent. Solo suits one commercial initiator who needs one session. Standard suits teams whose sessions rarely overlap. Standard plus an additional connection and Advanced should be assessed in parallel when two sessions overlap. Ultimate requires a quote. To see how these compare with TSplus Remote Access, you can start a 15-day TSplus Remote Support trial and test your actual peak-session workflow before committing to any annual software subscription.
