RemotePC HelpDesk is the support side of IDrive's RemotePC line, separate from the plans people use to reach their own computers. It starts at $99.50 per technician per year, about $8.29 a month, and RemotePC was advertising a first-year price of $9.95 when we checked. Each technician can connect to unlimited computers. Sessions start from an email invite or a session code, and technicians get in-session chat, multi-monitor access, file receipt, the option to lock the computer and frame rates RemotePC says approach 60 FPS on desktop. It also supports remote control of iOS and Android devices, scheduled sessions and screen sharing for demos. Security covers TLS v1.2, AES-256 and an emailed one-time code for two-factor sign-in, and integrations exist for Freshdesk, Freshservice, Jira and Zendesk. What it lacks is the admin depth of the leaders: there are no published scripting, background or privileged access tools, and unattended fleets need a separate RemotePC plan.
