    RustDesk is a remote desktop server and client solution, Royal TS is a management "suite" for already existing connections. Different category altogether.

    Royal TSX does much more than RustDesk. It's like comparing Word and Notepad.

    This is not even remotely similar! What kind of spreadsheet powers this website...! Better suggestion: Keepass. More secure, truly free, enormously flexible.
