These tools got quite expensive (monthly rate) when you only need to control an 2 or 3 devices (business). Are there any good alternatives? (beneath doing it with B4x).

Chrome remote desktop works really well now and is 100% free.
You now just need to sign in once to your google account on each host machine to set them up and you can then sign out again.
I think that in the past you may have needed to stay logged in to your google account on the host machine but it's possible I was doing it wrong.
An app is available for remoting in from android (don't know about ios) and on windows the web version works really well for remoting in including allowing file transfer and full screen viewing. I use firefox for viewing.

I have a premium teamviewer licence.
Despite that for the last several days I get logged out of connections after 5 minutes with the "commercial use detected" message!
A year or two ago I used to get adverts on the teamviewer window that when I closed them would immediately open my browser fullscreen to a teamviewer sales page.
I complained about that and they went away.
Recently Teamviewer frequently fails to connect to hosts while my backup rdp is able to.
Now also when I connect to many hosts I get a modal window that urges me to update the remote teamviewer.
The remote teamviewer is frequently on someone else's machine and it would be very cheeky of me to do that and it could result in them being landed with a bill!
The ownership of Teamviewer has changed a couple of times in recent years and they are trying very hard to increase revenue.
They are alienating a lot of people
I'm once again thinking of not renewing this year.

I would recommend giving AnyDesk a go, we can connect to remote android devices that our customers use. It's been really useful for software maintenance and support.

I think I might give them a try. I didn't understand the licensing before. I just looked at it again.
It says " Each User up to 3 Devices" for their most popular licence and it also says "Managed Devices (Unattended Access) : 3000".
I still don't know if I understand it tbh.
In practice is this restricting in any way compared to the teamviewer licence?
I can open teamviewer and have several remote computers open in tabs on a single window on my machine.
Is this possible?
Thanks
