I remeber it used to be free for personal use, but it seems it's paid plan only?
Maybe the Windows clients are paid now? But I use it currently for free on many Linux boxes. I haven't logged into one of the Windows boxes like my mother's office computer to fix something in a while.
I use it for free in android Linux and windows sooo no, I'm not sure we're you're getting that info from
I went to https://anydesk.com/en and got confused. I remeber (or maybe I just say so myself) years and years ago it stated obviously it's free for personal use. Now it's just generic site with links to download and not much info and obviously aimed at companies and their $$.
You can literally just download and use it, do you expect a free software not to have some sort of paid option in it's site? All the paid stuff is for business use, if you're just using it for yourself they don't ask for payment info nor do they bother you to pay at any moment
It's understandable they have paid version. It was always there. But the wording around was dayn and night different and that's what confused me. I needed "teamviewer alternative" last month, went there confident I have a solution, but after a moment of looking at the new-to-me site I was honestly not sure whether I can use it or not. More reading didn't really help in this regard, so I went with RustDesk instead. It did the job I needed and ia open source on top of it.
