I survived with using join.me for a couple years, but recently bought ScreenConnect. For a $350 one time fee, it is really really solid software. Upgrades after a year are even prorated quite fairly.
I have already done a couple freelance projects and my clients have been very impressed with DeskRoll. If I get more established, I may be ok ponying up $350 at once. Since I am still in my infancy, I would like to keep costs low.

@JaredBusch I didn't know about the yearly update fee. What is a fair amount to you?

Free version updates are not allowed after 365 days from purchase. But from day 366 to day 720 you can upgrade with an 80% discount on the cost.

Also we bought 2 licenses so it was $600 not $700.
The convenience and time saved has easily been worth the $600.

@JaredBusch Thanks, that helped a lot!

That would work for managed clients, but not unmanaged clients.

We do here and there but way too expensive for non-full managed scenarios.

We do, for clients we fully manage. However, that's a very small subset of computers that we work with on a regular basis. Several of our clients already have LogMeIn Central, and just add us to their accounts.

LMI is great for large scale and lots of different companies.

Continuum included LMI in their offering and you could configure it so the client could use LMI also.

NTG packages that with their offering too

Continuum was $4 per desktop for LMI, Malwarebytes and RMM if I remember correctly.

Per month, I assume, so almost $50/year?
-
@scottalanmiller correct. And I think GFI is less than 1/2 that price.

Yeah, you can put together your own setup for a fraction of the price. LMI from NTG, Webroot or Vipre, RMM from any number of options. Should be way under $50/year if you ant it to be. That adds up quickly as that cost is per desktop.
