Competitor prices and policies on this page are a snapshot, verified against public sources in August 2026. Vendors change their terms — their own sites are the current word; this page records what was true when we checked.
Choose HyperLogin if…
You want end-to-end encryption where even a compromised server cannot expose a single session, Swiss-hosted infrastructure, and a free tier that does not nag you into a licence.
Choose AnyDesk if…
You need mobile clients today, or you squeeze every millisecond out of difficult networks — and its recent security history is an acceptable risk for you.
The short version
Snapshot as of August 2026.
| HyperLogin | AnyDesk | |
|---|---|---|
| Free personal use | Free forever — 40-minute sessions, no usage scanner. | Free for personal use; regular use triggers professional-use prompts to buy a licence. |
| Paid entry price | Transparent per-technician plans — see our pricing page. | Solo at $14.90/month, one licensed user, billed annually. |
| Security track record | Zero-knowledge design: our servers never hold keys that could decrypt a session. | Production systems breached (disclosed February 2024): source code and code-signing keys stolen, certificates revoked, portal passwords reset. |
| Encryption | End-to-end: AES-128-GCM over DTLS-SRTP, ECDSA P-256 device certificates with a human-checkable verification code. | TLS with AES-256 session encryption. |
| Data residency | Swiss-hosted signaling and relays. | Global vendor infrastructure. |
| Platforms | Windows, macOS and Linux desktop apps. | Desktop plus iOS and Android apps. |
| Performance | Direct WebRTC peer-to-peer with smart relay fallback — under two seconds to first frame on typical networks. | Proprietary DeskRT codec with a deservedly strong latency reputation. |
What AnyDesk does better
No tool wins every row — a comparison you can trust says so out loud.
- Latency: DeskRT is excellent, especially on constrained networks — AnyDesk earned its performance reputation.
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android; HyperLogin is desktop-only today.
- Bigger team plans with large managed-device fleets and mature admin tooling.
Why people actually switch
Trust is structural, not promised
After the 2024 breach — stolen source code and code-signing keys — the question is not whether a vendor can be breached, but what a breach exposes. HyperLogin sessions are end-to-end encrypted with keys negotiated between your devices: our servers hold nothing that could decrypt them.
The licence nag
AnyDesk's detection prompts regular free users toward a paid licence. HyperLogin's free tier is for personal use and stays free — work use is a licensing question we ask you about, not a popup.
Keys you can verify
Every HyperLogin device has an ECDSA P-256 certificate, and connections show a short verification code you can compare out loud — man-in-the-middle protection you can actually check.
Common questions
Is HyperLogin really free for personal use?
Yes. The free tier is free forever: one seat and 40-minute sessions for personal, non-commercial use — with no automated prompts pushing you toward a licence.
What does "zero-knowledge" mean here?
Session keys are negotiated directly between your devices during connection setup. Our signaling servers and relays route encrypted packets but never possess the keys — so neither an insider nor an attacker who compromised our infrastructure could watch a session.
