Shadow PC plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

|---|---|---|---|
| Shadow PC | $29.99/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Shadow PC Power | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Storage upgrade | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Shadow PC in for running windows-only games or applications from a mac, a linux desktop or a chromebook, playing heavily modded games that catalogue streaming services do not permit, a student or contractor who needs a capable windows workstation for a few months rather than a purchase, households that want gaming performance without buying and housing a desktop tower. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Shadow PC are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Shadow PC
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $29.99/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Shadow PC against the tools that do have one before committing.
Shadow PC runs on windows, macos, linux, android, ios, web, smart tv, and is published by Shadow (OVH founder ownership) of Paris, Ile-de-France, France. The full record is on the Shadow PC review, and the rest of the category is under best gaming tools.
