Executive summary

Open-source remote access, EU-operated, no commercial-use surveillance

Tenvo is an open-source remote access software published under AGPL-3.0 by UPDEVTEAM LTD, a Cyprus-registered (EU) company. Built as a fork of the RustDesk open-source core, Tenvo adds a hosted relay, signed installers, billing infrastructure, and editorial UX polish on top of the same audited cryptography.

The product targets users frustrated with TeamViewer's and AnyDesk's commercial-use detection, the heuristic systems that flag legitimate personal users as "commercial" and cap their sessions at 5 minutes, then push them onto a $30+/month paid plan. Tenvo's free tier explicitly allows personal AND business use for 30 devices, with all features unlocked, no commercial-use detection, and no session timeouts.

The business model is intentionally lean: no sales team, no VP of CS, no executive layer. The same engineers who write the code answer the email. Operating costs are infrastructure (~€60/month) and occasional advertising. Everything saved on bloated overhead flows back into pricing. That's why Tenvo Pro is $7.99/month while the equivalent TeamViewer plan is ~$50/month for comparable features.

Tenvo is the open-source TeamViewer alternative without the commercial-use surveillance. Same encryption. Same protocol. One-fifteenth the price. Source code you can audit.

, Tenvo team · elevator pitch

We don't have a sales team or a CSM-as-a-service VP-of-something. The people who write the code also answer the email. Everything saved on bloated overhead is rolled back into pricing.

, Tenvo team · on the business model

TeamViewer's 5-minute limit on free users is the single most-googled remote-desktop pain point in 2026. We don't ship that bug, by design, not by oversight. Free for personal AND business use, with no commercial-use detection.
