An honest comparison

Is CaIoT RemoteViewer right for you?

We’d rather tell you up front. CaIoT RemoteViewer is focused on Android-first, attended support, and it isn’t trying to be every remote tool at once.

It’s a great fit if…

  • You work with Android phones, tablets or TVs every day
  • You want local tools that are free and work offline
  • You only need one or two remote services
  • You prefer attended, owner-approved sessions
  • You like simple pricing in Canadian dollars

A broader suite may suit you better if…

  • You need unattended access to a fleet of machines
  • You need macOS or Linux remote hosting today
  • You need enterprise SSO, MDM or compliance reporting

Security & consent

Access that’s visible, temporary and approved.

Remote sessions connect through network relay infrastructure. No software can promise perfect security, so CaIoT RemoteViewer keeps the owner in control at every step.

Owner approved

Every remote session starts with a yes on the other end.

Temporary by design

Session codes and passwords, not standing access to someone’s device.

Always visible

Android permissions stay visible and under the owner’s control in Companion.

Your backups, your disk

Password-protected archives are saved on the computer you choose.

Common questions

Clear answers before you connect.

Is CaIoT RemoteViewer really free?

Yes. Android screen control, backup and restore, files and screenshots over USB or the same Wi-Fi network are free, with no subscription. Every free account also includes 250 remote session minutes each month, so you can try remote access before you pay.

What counts as a remote session minute?

Time you spend in a remote session over the internet, from when it connects until it ends. Local USB and Wi-Fi tools never use minutes. Your allowance is 250 minutes a month on a free account, 500 with one remote service, 1,000 with two and 1,500 with all three.

Do the services share minutes or each get their own?

They share. Your monthly minutes form one pool that works across every remote service on your plan, so you never have to split them up yourself.

Do unused minutes roll over?

No. Your allowance resets at the start of each billing month, including on annual plans.

What happens if I run out of minutes?

Remote sessions pause until your allowance resets. Local tools keep working, you’re never charged for overages, and you can upgrade to a bigger plan anytime.

How many devices and sessions can I use?

There’s no device limit, so use any of your phones, tablets, TVs and PCs. One remote session can be active at a time per account. Need several at once? Ask about Enterprise / High Usage.

What does remote access cost?

Every free account includes 250 remote minutes a month. Paid plans are $5 CAD a month for one remote service (Android, Desktop or Camera) with 500 minutes, $10 for any two with 1,000 minutes, or $15 for all three with 1,500 minutes. Annual billing is charged once a year ($50, $100 or $150 CAD plus tax), which works out to two months free.

Do you have an enterprise plan?

Yes. Enterprise / High Usage offers custom minute allowances, multiple simultaneous sessions and many devices, with pricing and usage limits agreed up front. Book a demo or email team@caiot.co.

How do I buy or manage a paid plan?

Choose services on the Pricing page, sign in with Google, and complete secure checkout in Stripe. Use Account & billing in CaIoT RemoteViewer or the website account page to update payment details, view invoices, change or cancel your subscription.

Can I access my Android TV when I’m away from home?

Yes. Install CaIoT Companion on the Android TV and approve the session. On the same Wi-Fi it’s free; from anywhere else it uses Remote Android Access. Some streaming apps block screen sharing to protect their content, so their video may appear black.

Can a friend share their phone or camera with me?

Yes. Your friend installs CaIoT Companion and approves the request. You can then see their screen to help, or their camera to see what they see, for as long as the session lasts.

Can I stream a property tour to YouTube Live?

Yes. CaIoT RemoteViewer can take a phone camera live on YouTube, or you can share a private, temporary camera link instead. Only stream a rental before or between stays, never while guests are inside.

Does CaIoT RemoteViewer work without internet?

USB access works fully offline. Wi-Fi access needs a shared local network, not an internet connection. Remote services use the internet.

Do I need an app on the phone or TV?

Yes. CaIoT Companion handles Android screen, input and camera sharing, and its permissions stay visible to the device’s owner.

Can I control a Windows PC remotely?

Yes. The person at the PC shares a temporary session code and password, and you get keyboard and mouse control from your own CaIoT RemoteViewer desktop app. Remote hosting is Windows-only for now.

Is unattended access supported?

Not today. CaIoT RemoteViewer is built for attended, owner-approved sessions.

Does CaIoT RemoteViewer support macOS and Linux?

The Windows installer is available now. macOS and Linux builds are in progress, so check Downloads for the latest verified builds.

Where are my backups stored?

On the computer you choose, as password-protected archives. Remote sessions use network relay infrastructure to connect.

Is CaIoT RemoteViewer a TeamViewer or AnyDesk alternative?

For Android-first support and pay-per-service pricing, yes. If you need unattended fleets or enterprise device management, a broader suite may suit you better.

Can my repair shop or business use it?

Yes. It’s built for repair benches and small support teams. Book a demo and we’ll walk through your setup and commercial use.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Paid plans are monthly or annual subscriptions you can cancel at any time; access continues until the end of the period you paid for.

Is CaIoT RemoteViewer made in Canada?

Yes. It’s designed and built in Canada by CaIoT, priced in Canadian dollars and available worldwide.
