TeamViewer alternatives for your own computers (2026)
Updated 10 November 2026
TeamViewer is free only for personal use, and its business plans are annual subscriptions that auto-renew. If you mostly connect to your own computers or your company's, you have cheaper and self-hosted choices.

bananana.dev
Screen control on Mac and Linux (Windows in beta), plus terminal, files, monitoring and phone apps, on a dashboard you host. A tray icon shows when someone is watching and every session is logged. Trade-offs: for your own or your company's machines, not ad-hoc support for strangers; Linux screen control needs X11.
