Angel Remote Desktop vs TeamViewer

TeamViewer is a full remote-support platform sold as yearly subscriptions, with unattended access to managed devices, file transfer and IT tools. Angel Remote Desktop Access is lighter: you share a link or QR code, the other person opens it in any browser — even a phone — and you pay 5 credits a minute only while someone is connected. For an IT team or unattended machines, TeamViewer is the better choice; for occasional help, Angel is simpler.
