This was the best until Logmein came around. In 2008, GotomyPC is an overpriced offering in comparison to Logmein.

There are three versions of GoToMyPC.

GoToMyPC Pro — Secure remote access for teams and small companies. Would be used for practices with 2-5 physicians or additional office staff requiring remote access.

C. Cost –
For a single PC, Amazing Chart users can try GoToMyPC free for 30 days if you supply a credit card. You may cancel anytime during your trial and your credit card will not be charged. Be careful here as they really mean your subscription will continue and renew automatically until you notify Citrix Online of your decision to change your subscription renewal.
If GoToMyPC works for you, your membership continues automatically at a flat monthly rate of $19.95, or you can switch to an Annual Plan for 179.40 ($14.95 a month). Add more host PC’s and the rates go up accordingly. For example, for 4 Host PCs the Monthly rate is $67.80.
