<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I am helping a few small and mid-sized businesses evaluate <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/remote-desktop"><strong>remote desktop platforms</strong></a>, and one of the top concerns is affordability.
