Vendor: ConnectWise, LLC. Website: https://www.screenconnect.com/ - The One plan costs $30 a month, billed annually, for 1 technician, 1 session at a time and 10 unattended agents [1]. - Standard costs $47 per concurrent technician a month billed annually, or $62 billed monthly, and adds session recording and Wake-on-LAN [1]. - A self-hosted on-premises edition runs on your own infrastructure [2]. - In February 2024, ConnectWise fixed CVE-2024-1709, an authentication bypass rated 10 out of 10, in version 23.9.8 [6]. - There is no free plan; the pricing page offers a free trial [1]. Verdict: ScreenConnect suits IT teams that want full remote support tools and the option to host the server themselves [1][2]. Even the $30 One plan includes file transfer, multiple monitors and remote printing [1].
