Three things TeamViewer gets wrong.
The reasons teams keep abandoning TeamViewer for the alternatives.
3–5× more affordable
Tenvo Pro starts at $7.99/mo. TeamViewer Remote Access starts at €13.90/mo (prices as of 2026-11-11 — verify on TeamViewer's site, they change often). TeamViewer Premium: €70.90/mo, billed yearly, for up to 15 licensed users and one concurrent connection.
No commercial-use nag screens
TeamViewer frequently flags personal users as commercial and locks them out mid-session. Tenvo has clear licensing: free means free, paid means paid.
No timer on your session
TeamViewer's free tier is known for cutting sessions short and asking you to wait before reconnecting — the behaviour that sends most people looking for an alternative in the first place. On Tenvo's paid plans there is no per-session timer at all; on the free plan the limit is relay time per day, published in advance, not a countdown that appears while you are working.

Why teams switch from TeamViewer.
The four reasons that come up most often when teams move off TeamViewer.
Lower entry price
TeamViewer’s entry plan, Remote Access, is €13.90/mo billed yearly; Tenvo Lite is $2.99/mo billed monthly. For teams, TeamViewer Premium is €70.90/mo billed yearly (€850.80 a year for up to 15 licensed users and one concurrent connection) — set it against what your team actually uses.
No more license headaches
TeamViewer often flags personal accounts as commercial use and locks you out mid-session. Tenvo keeps it simple: free means free, paid means paid.
Pricing that matches where you are
Tenvo sets prices for each market and bills in 12 local currencies, so the cost matches the local economy instead of the dollar. For a team outside North America and Western Europe this often matters more than the headline discount.
Same features you know
Unattended access, file transfer, multi-monitor, session recording, address book — everything you use daily in TeamViewer is available in Tenvo.
Questions before switching.
Will our TeamViewer setup carry over?
No — there is no import. You install Tenvo on both machines and connect by ID, which takes minutes per device. What is worth planning is the overlap: keep the old tool in place until a full cycle has passed on the new one, including the things that only happen once a month. A week is usually too short for that.
Does Tenvo cut sessions short the way a free tier does?
On the paid plans there is no per-session timer. On the free plan the limit is relay time per day — 2 hours — and it is published on the pricing page rather than announced while you are working. That distinction is the whole point: a known ceiling can be planned around, a countdown that appears mid-session cannot.
How much does a ten-person team actually save?
Ten Pro seats at $7.99/month is $958.80 a year. Compare that against your own renewal invoice rather than a list price: licence costs vary by contract, region and negotiation, so the number on your renewal is the only one worth doing arithmetic with.
What do we give up by switching?
Two things, stated plainly. On phones Tenvo has the Android app, but the iOS app is still in development (iPhone and iPad use the web app), so a team that works from iPhones today has a real gap. And session recording is a Pro feature, not something the cheaper plans include. If either is load-bearing for you, find that out on a pilot rather than after the migration.
