About
RustDesk is an open-source remote desktop and remote support application that connects clients through RustDesk relay and rendezvous servers. It supports self-hosted deployment with Docker Compose, and the server can be run from the provided OSS or Pro compose files.
The free offering is the self-hosted OSS plan, which includes online status and community support. The product also offers paid Pro plans with features such as login-user limits, managed-device limits, web console access, 2FA, access control, OIDC, LDAP integration, custom client generation, and distributed relay servers.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and self-hosted, so there is no credit-card friction and no expiration. It includes only basic online status and community support, which is far less than the $9.90/month Individual plan, so a small but real value of about $0.50/month is a fair buyer-side estimate.
What's included in the free tier
- Online status
- Community support
