Comparison
RemoteHub vs RustDesk
RustDesk is open source and self-hostable. RemoteHub is a hosted service with nothing to run yourself.
In short
- RustDesk is a popular open-source remote desktop you can use with public servers or host yourself for full control.
- RemoteHub is fully managed: accounts, relays, updates, billing and support are handled for you.
- If you want to run your own servers or need the source code, RustDesk is a strong choice.
- If you would rather not operate servers, RemoteHub gives you a dashboard, roles, audit log and required two-factor sign-in out of the box.
