The short version

  • Only Google Home has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ConnectWise rMM, backup and cybersecurity products require filling out a quote request form rather than showing a price; only ScreenConnect remote support pricing is shown directly on the site, per connectwise.com, August 2026; Google Home web version (home.google.com) has limited controls compared to the mobile app
