| Consideration | Deskbat | TeamViewer |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Windows download; invited iPhone/iPad viewer beta. Mac coming soon. No public Android/Linux download. | TeamViewer Remote describes support across Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile platforms, with centralized device management and additional product options. Check the exact host and viewer capabilities you need. |
| Unattended access | Owner-configured computer password; the host must remain awake and online. | Unattended access is documented. Follow its current account, device and platform setup instructions. |
| Getting help | Enter a computer ID and request local approval. Both people need verified Deskbat accounts; Windows installation needs administrator permission. | Review its remote-support setup and licensing for the person providing and receiving help. |
| Pricing | Free, Solo, Team and Business plans; the pricing page explains launch-period access. | Check official pricing for your region, plan and simultaneous-session requirements. |
Compare the workflow you actually use
- Can both your host and viewing devices run a currently available version?
- Can the person receiving help complete the required installation and account setup?
- Do you need local approval, unattended access or both?
- How many technicians, managed computers and simultaneous sessions do you need?
- Do the permission, activity-history and support arrangements fit your team?
