Onscryn vs
TSplus.
TSplus Remote Access is software you install to publish Windows applications and desktops to people through a web portal. Onscryn is a service built around the same goal. They overlap on browser access to Windows apps, and differ in how much you install, run and assemble.
| Onscryn | TSplus Remote Access | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A managed service: enroll a Windows host, publish an app, share a link | Software you install on your Windows server to publish apps and desktops |
| Browser access | A link in a browser tab, nothing installed | An HTML5 web client for browser access, plus a Progressive Web App option, per TSplus |
| Publishing apps | Register an application on a host and share it | Per TSplus, publish Windows applications and assign them to users or groups |
| Sign-in | SSO over OIDC and SAML (plan-dependent), roles, instant revocation | Per TSplus, two-factor authentication protects portal access. Check their documentation for SSO options |
| Branding | Your name, logo and domain on sign-in and dashboard | Per TSplus, the login portal can be customized without coding |
| Clipboard and files | Allow or block each, per app and per organization, enforced at the broker | Check their documentation |
| Recording and automation | Recording (Beta, plan-dependent), UI-tree workflows and a Copilot (preview) | Check their documentation |
| Licensing | Windows and your own software still need licences. We go through it with you | Per TSplus, perpetual or subscription, in several editions. Windows licensing for your server still applies |
Choose TSplus if
- You want software you install and run on your own server, with a perpetual licence if that suits you.
- You are comfortable managing the server, certificates and updates yourself.
- Your needs are met by a web portal in front of Windows apps and desktops.
Choose Onscryn if
- You would rather not install and operate the portal and gateway yourself.
- You want per-session isolation, clipboard and file policy, a watermark and recording in one product.
- You want SSO, roles and quick removal of access without extra assembly.
- You want automation, such as workflows and a Copilot, on the same apps.
What the web portal gives you
TSplus describes an HTML5 client that runs wholly in the browser, a customizable login portal, and the ability to publish Windows applications and assign them to users or groups. For a small team with a single server, that can be a compact answer.
The trade is operational. You install it, secure it, keep it patched and renew its certificates. Onscryn takes the control side off your hands and asks only for a Windows host that runs the agent.
Licensing
TSplus says it is available as a perpetual or subscription licence in several editions. We do not publish its prices because we cannot verify them. Whichever you choose, Windows and your own software still need valid licences, so settle that early.
