RustDesk

What it is for

RustDesk is a self-hosted Devices desk: you assign named peers to a strategy, and the OSS / Free self-host tile is $0/month. Individual Pro is $11.88/month billed annually. Use it when the job is a device table you start at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is RustDesk’s official Edit Devices dialog (Add or remove peers for strategy demo1, 1 of 4 items, rows 1981241962 selfd@pc / user2 / demo3 / 192.168.1…, 1279471875 device_group2 / demo2, a123456 sun@pc / device_group1 / user1 / demo1, 1227624460 sun@desktop-ra3cuivr / admin / 127.0.0.1) from the edit_devices still on Strategy — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Devices.

Key features

• Devices — browse, query, and assign peers (cover still; Web Console). One desk. Cover a123456 / sun@pc sit here. Query / Save sit here as CTAs, not a sixth desk.
• Users — login users and admin flags (console “Creating a new user”). A user, not a Device ID. Individual is 1 login user.
• Groups — user groups and device groups (console; cover device_group1). A group, not a Device IP.
• Strategy — client-setting policies applied to devices / users / groups (Strategy; cover demo1). A policy, not a Device row.
• Logs — connection and other logs (console “Browse device connection logs”). A log, not a Device name.
• Welcome / Windows EXE — host / key / API and the custom client filename (console-home still). A config, not a Device checkbox.

Query / Save / Clear on the cover are CTAs (not desks). Free / Individual / Basic tiles are the meter. Custom client generator and OIDC print on Basic — extras of Users / Welcome, not a sixth desk.

Who it's for

Best fit: ops teams who will stay on Free at $0 (OSS server, community support) while they open a first Devices list, then Individual at $11.88/month yearly when they need 1 login user and 20 managed devices — not Basic $23.88 unless they need 10 users / OIDC / LDAP.
