LogMeIn Free Remote Services No Longer Free

If you are of the many folks who use “LogMeIn” to log into your home computers from work, or vice versa…the big news is that it’s no longer free and you will have to pay to continue to use the service. There are many alternatives, but here is my recommendation. As a professional remote support specialist, I believe in paying for what works. If this product has worked for you for years without issues, I recommend paying the fees to upgrade to LogMeinPro and continue using it. It’s important that your day to day stay consistent. I have found that trying new products to stay free, only costs you money in the long run. To remote into 2 computers for a year is $99. I pay that a month for my remote support tools (that allows me day to day remote access to your computers LogMeInRescue). I find this acceptable in terms of price. I know it would be great to find something cheaper, but as I said, if this is working now, upgrade and no time is wasted. If you spend a lot of time finding other software and tools, what is your time worth? If you do not want to pay, then be careful of other free services that are out there and will be popping up here due to the LogMeIn free going away. Be careful if people start calling you, especially from other countries. Scam artists know what people want and how to sell you things fast.
