Why people look for a TeamViewer replacement

If TeamViewer suspects commercial use, free sessions start being cut, and the limit can only be lifted through a request.
Paid plans are billed only a year in advance.
The first paid plan covers only three devices for unattended access.
For helping family at home that is a noticeable cost: about $300 a year.
