Looking for an AnyDesk alternative
Remote access tools look alike from the outside; the difference shows up in how the licence is counted, how many machines you may connect to and which country the session data sits in. This page asks those four questions: SkyyDesk's answer comes from our own licence page, AnyDesk's from AnyDesk's own documentation.
Four things to check when comparing
- How the licence is countedPer person or per device? For a small team looking after many machines, that difference can double the total you pay.
- How many machines you may manageSome plans cap the number of “managed devices”, so the plan has to grow as your customers or servers do.
- Whether you can connect with nobody at the other endUnattended access — connecting with a fixed password — sits in the paid tier of most products. If you need to reach a server at night, this is the deciding point.
- Where the session data sitsIn public sector, finance and healthcare work this is the first question, and the country the server is in usually ends up in the contract.
SkyyDesk's answer
The licence is per user and annual; the number of machines is not limited — you do not pay again for the machine you connect to. Individual, single use is free; the licence is for concurrent multi-user business use.
Unattended access with a fixed password is in the licensed version; in the free version the other side has to accept the connection. With a licence a second person can also join the same machine, with control passing between them.
The servers run bare-metal in ELPO Bilişim's own data centre, so session data does not leave the company. The connection is end-to-end encrypted, works behind NAT and firewalls, and can also be made from a browser.
According to AnyDesk's own documentation
AnyDesk describes its free version as being for private, non-professional use and gives it 3 managed devices. Paid licences are subscriptions tied to the account rather than to a single device; how many devices may be registered follows the size of the plan, and a “user” is whoever starts the session.
Terms can change; what is summarised here was read from AnyDesk's own page on 19 September 2026.
How the move works
- Download and try itYou can download and connect without creating an account; individual use is free. It also runs on the far machine without being installed.
- License the peopleA licence is assigned to a person: you buy as many users as will connect at the same time, and you do not count machines.
- Turn on unattended accessOn machines you need to reach at any time, install SkyyDesk as a service and set a fixed password; you can then connect with nobody there.
