LoLa Cloud PCs

LoLa Cloud PCs combines remote access to a compatible Windows computer you own with optional hosted Windows PCs. It suits individuals who want to reach their own machine and teams that need shared workspaces; hosted plans merit a close look at their usage caps and final shop prices.

Overview

LoLa’s two parts serve different needs. Remote Desktop streams a Windows host to a supported client, leaving apps, files and GPU workloads on that host; Cloud PCs provide an optional hosted computer instead. That distinction matters: the free personal plan requires your own compatible PC, while hosted packages bring their own usage limits and hardware configurations.

The maker positions the service for professional work, creative production, game development and remote gaming. Performance has no universal guarantee: it depends on the host, client, workload, software version, network route, geography and test conditions. A strong fit on paper is not a promise of a consistent session across every setup.

Key features

Remote access and hosted PCs

Remote Desktop can make an existing Windows PC reachable from another supported device, without moving its files or GPU workloads off the host. That is useful for people who already have a suitable machine; it is less suitable if they need a computer that runs independently of their own hardware. Cloud PCs address that need, with hourly or monthly packages and configurations sold through the live shop.

Creative and gaming options

The pricing page associates Blender, After Effects and Premiere Pro with Creators, and Steam, Battle.net and Epic with Gaming. The Creators package includes a dedicated GPU, while Gaming specifies RTX-powered graphics. These are clearer workload distinctions than the Professionals package, which has no dedicated GPU.

Team controls and security

Team includes an admin console, centralized billing, shared machines and workspaces, permissions, access policies, basic access logs and onboarding support. That makes it the more relevant route for studios, engineering and CAD groups, contractors and project-based teams that need managed shared access. Solo and Team list privacy mode and secure session controls. LoLa’s privacy policy says it processes personal identifiers and payment details under UK GDPR.

Pricing

The free Remote Desktop Personal plan is free for one person’s personal, non-commercial use with their own compatible PC; it does not require a Cloud PC. Its trade-off is strict: it is not for commercial work and provides no hosted computer.

Cloud PC Professionals is billed £7.99 per month and specifies 2 CPUs, 4 GB RAM and no dedicated GPU. It is the entry hosted configuration for professional use, but its included usage and final price are confirmed in the shop. Cloud PC Gaming is billed £27.99 per month, with 8 CPUs, 32 GB RAM and RTX-powered graphics. Cloud PC Creators is also billed £27.99 per month, with 8 CPUs, 32 GB RAM and a dedicated GPU. Both hosted packages are usage-capped, and the shop confirms included usage and final price, so the monthly billing figure alone does not establish how much use is included.

Remote Desktop Premium is billed £7.99 per user per month for professional and commercial use. It is a remote-access plan, not a hosted PC: Cloud PC hardware is not included. Team pricing is custom pricing. Solo and Team list priority support, while support is also available through a support form and community Discord.

Platforms

LoLa lists Windows, macOS, iPhone and iPad, Android, Chrome and Raspberry Pi client routes; the access-platform list names Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Chrome. These are client routes for accessing a Windows host or Cloud PC, not a claim that the desktop operating system itself is available beyond Windows. The extra Raspberry Pi route may suit a particular client setup, but the published access-platform list does not include it.

Who it's for

Choose the free plan if you want personal, non-commercial access to your own compatible Windows PC. Premium is the better fit when that remote access is for professional or commercial work. Choose a Cloud PC package if you need a hosted Windows computer, selecting among Professionals, Gaming and Creators by workload and hardware needs. Teams that need shared machines, permissions and centralized administration should consider Team; solo users do not need its team-oriented controls.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Remote Desktop can use a compatible Windows PC you already own, and the free personal plan has no Cloud PC requirement.
• Pro: The Gaming and Creators configurations specify 8 CPUs and 32 GB RAM, with RTX-powered graphics or a dedicated GPU respectively.
• Pro: Team combines shared workspaces and machines with permissions, access policies, basic logs and centralized billing.
• Con: Hosted packages are usage-capped, and the shop determines included usage and final price, making the monthly billing amount only part of the cost picture.
• Con: Professionals has 4 GB RAM and no dedicated GPU, so it is a poor match for GPU-heavy creative or gaming workloads.
• Con: Remote performance depends on several parts of the connection and setup, with no universal performance figure to rely on.

Alternatives

Browse Cloud PC Services if you want to compare this category more broadly. Amazon WorkSpaces is worth considering for its free trial and Windows single-session user fee of $4.19 a month, plus provisioned instance-hour charges. Dizzion Cloud PC may suit teams seeking a dedicated persistent desktop with Core or Complete tiers and CPU or GPU workload configurations, with pricing available by contacting Dizzion.

Shadow PC offers fixed monthly plans with specified monthly hours and session-length limits, a useful alternative if those caps match your expected use. TrueCloud is another paid cloud-PC option. Vagon Cloud Computer charges by the hour and by the minute, which may suit workloads that do not need a monthly package. Ace Cloud Hosting Desktop as a Service offers an Enterprise Team Desktops plan for 100 users and a free trial. Fantom Cloud PC offers one-time day passes. Infosaic Cloud Virtual Desktop has monthly plans with specified RAM, virtual cores and drive capacity.

Verdict

LoLa is a sensible choice for people who want remote access to a Windows PC they already own, and for teams that need shared machines and access controls. Its strongest hosted options distinguish creative and gaming hardware needs, but the usage caps and shop-confirmed final prices make it harder to judge hosted cost from the monthly billing figures alone. Look elsewhere if you need predictable performance or a hosted package whose full usage and price are clear upfront.
