The short version

  • Only Xano 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; Xano limited real-time capabilities; websocket support underdeveloped and not suitable for real-time applications
