GoDesk vs AnyDesk: A cheaper open-source remote desktop
The features you'd use in AnyDesk Solo, at a fraction of the price. Direct P2P, end-to-end encrypted, hosted relay included — and no surprise commercial-use blocks mid-session.
Save $143/year switching from AnyDesk to GoDesk Lite.
Three things AnyDesk gets wrong.
Where GoDesk is materially better, not just cheaper.
More affordable plans
GoDesk Pro is $7.99/mo vs AnyDesk Solo $14.90/mo — 46% cheaper. Lite at $2.99/mo is 80% cheaper. Every plan ships with the features you actually use, no bait-and-switch upsells.
Local payment methods
Pay with PIX in Brazil, UPI in India, OXXO in Mexico, plus other regional methods. AnyDesk only accepts international credit cards.
A free tier that actually works
Our free plan gives you 2-hour sessions and core features. AnyDesk's free tier frequently warns and rate-limits suspected commercial use — including legitimate personal users.

Why teams choose GoDeskFlow over AnyDesk.
The four reasons that come up most often when teams move off AnyDesk.
Better value at every tier
GoDesk Pro starts at $7.99/mo — 46% less than AnyDesk Solo. Our free plan gives you 2-hour sessions without the aggressive commercial-use detection that locks paying personal users out unexpectedly.

Fair regional pricing
AnyDesk charges the same everywhere. GoDeskFlow adjusts pricing based on your region, so teams in emerging markets pay a price that matches their local economy.
A free tier that actually works
Our free plan includes file transfer, chat, and 2-hour sessions for personal use. No surprise pop-ups telling you your usage looks commercial.
