Instead of Drovio

Drovio alternatives

Drovio lets distributed teams share an IDE, app, or screen for pair programming, code reviews, interviews, and other remote collaboration. Participants use separate cursors to interact with shared apps, with voice chat, webcam sharing, integrated chat, and browser-based joining. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web; its Enterprise option can run on customer servers in a private network without internet access. Paid sessions support up to 10 participants, and Drovio says screen sharing is optimized for low latency, including on low-bandwidth connections.

The free Basic plan limits remote control to 30 minutes a day and two participants. Paid plans start at $15 per user per month, and Standard and Business support up to 10 participants; Business adds SAML single sign-on and dedicated support. Consider what a switch needs to preserve: shared control across any app, voice and video, web joining, or private deployment. Other options focus more narrowly on collaborative editing, hiring interviews, shared terminals, or IDE-based code and call workflows, so weigh those differences alongside platform availability and price.
