What Is RemoteToPC and What Does It Do?

Updated

RemoteToPC is remote access software for businesses, teams, and IT staff. It provides secure unattended remote access and remote desktop connections to PCs used at home, in offices, and across business teams. Beyond simple remote control, it adds system monitoring, real-time alerts, and IT management tools as your needs grow. If you need to reach a remote PC or Mac, support end users, or manage a fleet of machines, RemoteToPC is built for that range of tasks.

What RemoteToPC actually does

At its core, RemoteToPC lets you connect to and control a remote computer as if you were sitting in front of it. The vendor describes it as combining secure remote computer access with remote computer management software.

The main capabilities include:

  • Unattended remote access — connect to a machine without someone on the other end having to approve each session.
  • Attended remote access — for remote support sessions where a user is present.
  • Remote desktop control — work on a remote PC or Mac as if you're local to it.
  • System monitoring and real-time alerts — visibility into the health and status of managed machines.
  • System information and IT support tools — for IT staff managing multiple computers.

It also lists advanced session features such as remote printing, multi-to-multi pop-out screens, drag-and-drop file copy, and chat.

Who it's for

RemoteToPC targets several overlapping audiences:

Audience Typical use
Individuals Remote access to a home or personal PC
Small businesses and offices Reaching office machines from another location
Growing teams Multiple technicians working at the same time
IT staff Assigning granular access to groups and computers, monitoring, and support

The vendor emphasizes that IT staff can assign granular access to groups and computers, which lets remote employees securely reach their office PCs or Macs from any location.

How the plans scale

RemoteToPC structures its plans around the number of PCs you manage, with a fixed annual price. The page shows two entry tiers:

  • Basic — single user, $8.25 per month, billed yearly at $99.00, covering 10 remote computers, unlimited remote sessions, remote desktop access, multi-to-multi monitor support, and remote printing and file transfer. Positioned for individuals and very small businesses.
  • Business — single user, $16.58 per month, billed yearly at $199.00, covering 20 remote computers, with the same core remote access features.

Higher tiers (Teams and Enterprise) add robust user management and more IT visibility. The page also notes a 14-day free trial and a pricing page for full plan details.

What to check before choosing it

  • Confirm your computer count. Plans are priced around the PCs you manage, so match the tier to your actual fleet.
  • Decide whether you need management features. If you only need basic remote desktop access, the lower tiers may be enough; if you need monitoring, alerts, and multi-technician access, look at the higher tiers.
  • Verify platform support. The vendor references both PCs and Macs, so confirm your specific machines are covered.
  • Check current pricing and trial terms on the pricing page, since plan details and prices can change.

If your goal is secure unattended access plus optional IT visibility that grows with your team, RemoteToPC fits that description. If you only need occasional attended screen sharing, a simpler tool may be sufficient.
