- Raspberry Pi Connect may add support for remote controlling Windows PCs, expanding beyond Raspberry Pi devices.
- Pi Connect is free for individuals, with an 'Organizations' plan at $0.50 per device/month, offering potential savings over services like RealVNC.
- A Windows version of the Pi Connect daemon is available for testing but unsupported, with bugs like cursor issues and freezes needing resolution.
- Pi Connect uses WebRTC and VNC, allowing access via web browsers, and may also support macOS in the future.
- The service currently offers remote shell access with Command Prompt, PowerShell, or WSL, though lacking features like audio support and remote shell selection.
- Pi Connect has evolved with fleet management features like remote updates, positioning it as a competitor in remote access for edge deployments.
