How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Maximum resolution and maximum frame rate describe stream limits, while local co-op and multi-monitor support cover other ways you might play. The entries include Parsec, Moonlight Web and PXPlay. Check free-plan availability and the paid-from price alongside those capabilities, especially if cost will shape your choice. Comparing these details can help you narrow options around the devices you want to connect, the displays you use and the kind of remote play you need.
