What it is

Royal TS is a remote management solution for organizing connections to remote systems. It supports RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, FTP, SFTP, SCP and web interfaces, among other listed protocols. Integrations include TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V, Windows Events, Windows Services, Windows Processes, Terminal Services and PowerShell. Users can share connection documents while keeping personal credentials in a separate private document. Sensitive document data is encrypted, and documents can be password protected or locked. Command Tasks, Key Sequence Tasks and PowerShell scripting can automate repetitive work and document management. Its Secure Gateway uses SSH port forwarding to tunnel supported connection types. Dynamic Folders and Dynamic Credentials can bring in external data and retrieve credential properties when a connection opens. Shared documents can be synchronized through a file share or cloud service such as Dropbox without a SQL database backend. The free Lite plan is limited to 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document. The Single User License costs €49 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription or annual fees; a 30-day trial is also available.

Royal TS in depth

Read the full write-up

Royal TS is a remote administration workspace for managing connections and systems. It is a strong fit for administrators who need one place for varied protocols, shared connection documents and credential controls. The key trade-off is scale: Lite has tight caps, while team licenses carry substantial one-time costs.

Overview

Royal TS combines remote access with system-management integrations, covering terminal, desktop, file-transfer and web connections alongside tools such as TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V and Windows management components. That breadth makes it more useful to mixed-environment administrators than a client focused on a single connection type.

Workspaces organize sessions, and teams can share connection documents while keeping individual credentials in a separate private document. Documents can be encrypted, password protected or locked down. This gives teams useful controls over shared access, but depends on keeping shared connection data and personal credentials appropriately separated.

Key features

Connections and integrations

Supported protocols include SSH, Telnet, RS232, Raw, Rlogin, RDP, VNC, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP and SCP. Integrations extend to Windows Events, Services and Processes, Terminal Services and PowerShell, as well as TeamViewer, VMware and Hyper-V. Administrators with varied systems can consolidate more work here; someone who needs only SSH may find that range unnecessary.

Credentials, sharing and automation

Royal TS can use LastPass and KeePass as external credential sources. Dynamic Folders can import external data, while Dynamic Credentials retrieve credential properties when a connection opens. Command Tasks, Key Sequence Tasks and PowerShell scripting can automate repetitive actions and document management, which is valuable when administration involves recurring procedures.

The Secure Gateway uses SSH port forwarding to tunnel Remote Desktop, VNC, SSH and Telnet connections. Multiple users can edit and synchronize documents through a file share or cloud service such as Dropbox, without a SQL database back end. That keeps shared-document deployment flexible, though the specified synchronization approach is document-based rather than a database-backed service.

Pricing

Lite costs nothing and allows up to 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document. Those caps make it suitable for a small personal setup or an initial evaluation, but quickly constrain larger inventories.

The Single User License costs €49 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription or annual fees, and covers one user across multiple devices. It is the clearest step up for an individual who has outgrown Lite. A free 30-day trial license for Royal TS/X has no limitations, so users can evaluate the broader setup before choosing a license.

For teams, the Site License costs €849 as a one-time purchase for unlimited users on one site and includes one year of software maintenance. The Global License is €1,699 as a one-time purchase for unlimited users across multiple sites, also with one year of maintenance. The Extended Global License costs €3,199 as a one-time purchase for unlimited users on multiple sites and includes three years of maintenance. These are deployment-scale purchases, not per-seat subscriptions; the maintenance term differs and matters when comparing the upfront costs.

The Enterprise License covers unlimited users in all subsidiaries and has custom pricing. It is the relevant option for organizations spanning subsidiaries, but requires contacting Royal Apps for a price.

Platforms

Royal TS is supported on Windows. The product is also presented for Android, iOS and macOS, alongside an extension, but the supported-platform specification identifies Windows. Buyers should confirm the platform they need before selecting a license.

Who it's for

Royal TS is best suited to system administrators and IT teams managing a diverse fleet of remote connections, especially where connection documents need to be shared without exposing personal credentials. Its integrations and automation also favor people who manage Windows services and processes alongside remote sessions.

It is less compelling for someone who needs only a basic terminal client, or for a small setup that can stay within Lite's ten-connection and ten-credential limits. Teams should also weigh the cost of site or global licensing against the value of unlimited users and shared document workflows.

Pros and cons

Broad protocol and integration coverage: RDP, VNC, SSH, file transfer, web interfaces and Windows-management integrations fit varied administration work.

Practical separation for teams: Shared connection documents can coexist with private credentials, and documents support encryption and password protection.

Useful automation and credential options: PowerShell and task automation combine with LastPass, KeePass and dynamic credential retrieval.

Strict free-tier limits: Lite's 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document are restrictive for growing inventories.

High upfront team-license costs: Site and global licenses are one-time purchases starting at 849.00 EUR, which may be excessive for small teams.

Windows is the clearly supported platform: Readers on other operating systems should verify support before committing.

Alternatives

For a broad directory of SSH-focused choices, see SSH Clients; for tools centered on managing remote connections, browse Remote Connection Manager Software.

electerm is a free alternative with a broad cross-platform footprint and SSH, file-transfer, terminal and remote desktop protocols. Choose it when a free option across platforms matters more than Royal TS's document-sharing and administration workflow.

Termius offers a free Starter plan with a local vault, SSH and SFTP, autocomplete and port forwarding. It is a better match when those core SSH capabilities are enough and a local vault is the priority.

XPipe is an open-core alternative with its application core under Apache License 2.0 and some paid features not open source.

MobaXterm is Windows-only and its Home Edition caps sessions at 12, SSH tunnels at two and macros at four. It may suit a Windows user with a modest session and tunnel count; its Professional Edition costs $69 a year.

Tabby is a free, open-source terminal option for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Xftp is focused on file transfer, with a free license limited to personal, home and educational non-commercial use. It is a narrower choice when FTP/SFTP transfer matters more than managing a wider remote-connection workspace.

Xshell has a free license for personal, home and educational non-commercial use. It is an alternative to consider for those use contexts.

Tectia Server is a paid SSH server with pricing by request, rather than a general remote-connection workspace.

Verdict

Choose Royal TS if you administer varied remote systems and need shared connection documents, credential separation and automation in one workspace. Its broad coverage and flexible document synchronization are the strongest reasons to pay; look elsewhere if you need only a simple SSH client, require clearly supported non-Windows platforms, or cannot justify the team-license cost.

Verdict

Royal TS combines multi-protocol connection management with document sharing, credential controls and automation. The free Lite limits are clear, while paid licenses offer options for individual users and larger deployments.
