Almost every well-known remote desktop tool is now a subscription. You pay every month to reach a computer you already own. If you searched remote desktop no subscription or pay once remote desktop, this page is about the two ways Scry answers that.
Try it free for 7 days, no commercial-use wall
Start with a 7-day free trial — credit card required. On Mac, Windows, and the browser you get full keyboard and mouse control, display streaming, clipboard text sync, automatic quality tuning, session chat, and reconnect on a network flap — over an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC connection. No watermark, no session length cap, and no “commercial use detected” wall — ever, on any plan.
Pay once — $399 lifetime
The headline is the lifetime: $399 one-time, which also unlocks 9 other Bravely utilities — or $9.99/month / $95.99/year if you'd rather. A true one-time purchase is rare in this category; most competitors only rent. Scry includes multi-monitor switching, audio streaming, trusted device sharing, Stealth Mode, and the iOS and Android apps. The price is locked while the feature set is still maturing at the 0.1.x stage, and we'd rather tell you that than oversell it.
What “pay once” actually saves you
A typical subscription remote desktop runs anywhere from a few dollars to roughly thirty dollars per month depending on the brand. At the low end that's on the order of $70/year; at the high end several hundred dollars/year — every year, forever. Scry's lifetime is $399 total, once — and it unlocks 9 other Bravely utilities too. We deliberately don't name exact competitor numbers here because they change — the comparison pages do that with dated, verified prices.
The honest caveats
Several headline features are in preview — improving, not final.
The iOS and Android apps are still maturing at the 0.1.x stage.
Scry uses an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC connection (DTLS-SRTP, peer-to-peer) — the relay never sees your screen.
Stop renting access to your own machine.
Try free for 7 days, then $9.99/mo — or $399 once for lifetime. No recurring bill if you go lifetime, no commercial-use wall.
