What Royal TS is
Royal TS is a remote management solution for organizing connections to remote systems. It supports RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, FTP, SFTP, SCP, web interfaces, and 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 data in documents is encrypted, and documents can be password protected or locked down. Command Tasks, Key Sequence Tasks, and PowerShell scripting can automate repetitive work and document management. Its Secure Gateway uses SSH port forwarding for tunneling supported connection types. Dynamic Folders and Dynamic Credentials can import external data and retrieve credential properties when a connection opens. Shared documents can be synchronized through a file share or a cloud service such as Dropbox, without a SQL database backend. Lite is free but limited to 10 connections, 10 credentials, and one document. The Single User License costs €49 once, with no subscription or annual fees; a free 30-day trial is also available.

Who it suits
Royal TS may suit individuals or teams managing remote connections and systems across supported protocols. Its shared documents and separate private credentials may be useful where connection details need to be shared without sharing personal credentials.

The full review of Royal TS
Royal TS is a remote management application for coordinating access to servers, systems and web interfaces. It is a strong fit for administrators and teams juggling varied protocols, shared connection documents and repeatable management tasks. Its one-time individual license is clear; larger teams face a substantially higher site or global license cost.
Overview
Royal TS spans remote access, file transfer and system administration, from RDP and VNC to SSH, Telnet, SFTP and web interfaces. Integrations for TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V and Windows management tools broaden its reach beyond a conventional terminal client. For mixed environments, that consolidation can reduce the need to maintain separate connection tools.
Workspaces handle session management, while teams can share connection documents without placing personal credentials in the shared file. Documents encrypt sensitive data and can be password protected or locked down. These controls suit collaborative administration, though teams still need to decide which connection details belong in a shared document and which remain private.
Key features
Connections and management
Supported protocols include SSH, Telnet, RS232, Raw, Rlogin, RDP, VNC, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP and SCP. Alongside those, Royal TS integrates TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V, Windows Events, Windows Services, Windows Processes, Terminal Services and PowerShell. This range is valuable for administrators moving between remote shells, desktop sessions, file transfers and Windows operations; someone who needs only one protocol may not need that breadth.
Credentials, sharing and automation
Royal TS can use LastPass and KeePass as external credential sources. Dynamic Credentials can retrieve credential properties when a connection opens, and Dynamic Folders can import external data, useful when connection inventories are managed elsewhere. Command Tasks, Key Sequence Tasks and PowerShell scripting can automate repetitive work and document management, which matters most when the same operations recur across a large set of connections.
Multiple users can edit and synchronize documents through a file share or a cloud service such as Dropbox, without a SQL database back end. The Secure Gateway uses SSH port forwarding to tunnel Remote Desktop, VNC, SSH and Telnet traffic. Together, these options support shared administration and tunneled access without requiring a separate database server.
Pricing
Lite is free and allows up to 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document. Those caps make it suitable for a small personal setup or initial evaluation, but a larger inventory quickly requires a paid license. Royal Apps also offers a 30-day trial of Royal TS/X without limitations, giving prospective buyers a way to evaluate the full product before committing.
The Single User License costs €49.00 once, with no subscription or annual fees, and covers one user across multiple devices. It is the natural upgrade for an individual who outgrows Lite. The Site License costs €849.00 once for unlimited users at one site, and the Global License costs €1699.00 once for unlimited users across multiple sites; both include one year of software maintenance. The Extended Global License costs €3199.00 once, covers unlimited users across multiple sites and includes three years of software maintenance. These group licenses suit organizations standardizing shared access, with the extended option making more sense when a longer maintenance period is preferred upfront.
The Enterprise License covers unlimited users in all subsidiaries and has custom pricing. Buyers should contact Royal Apps for terms and pricing. Royal Apps provides a support ticket form for questions and issues.
Platforms
Royal TS is available for Windows, with Android, iOS and macOS also included among its supported platforms. An extension is also listed. The pricing and license options described above are oriented around the Royal TS product; the full 30-day evaluation is for Royal TS/X.
Who it's for
Royal TS is best for IT administrators and teams managing a varied fleet of remote connections, especially when they need shared documents, credential separation, tunneling and scripting in the same workflow. The individual license also suits a solo administrator who needs more than Lite's small connection and credential allowance. It is less compelling for someone seeking only a lightweight SSH terminal or a dedicated file-transfer client.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Broad protocol and integration coverage: RDP, VNC, SSH and file transfer sit alongside VMware, Hyper-V and Windows administration connections.
- Shared work without merging private credentials: teams can share documents while keeping personal credentials separate, with document encryption and password controls.
- Flexible operational tooling: tasks, PowerShell scripting, dynamic imports and credential retrieval can reduce repetitive connection management.
- One-time individual license: the €49.00 Single User License has no subscription or annual fees and supports multiple devices.
Cons
- Restrictive free allowance: Lite stops at 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document, limiting its usefulness for expanding inventories.
- Team licenses cost substantially more than individual access: site and global options start at €849.00 once, which may be difficult to justify for a small team.
- Enterprise pricing requires a sales contact: organizations needing coverage across subsidiaries cannot assess that license from a posted price.
Alternatives
For a free option with broader platform reach, electerm supports SSH, SFTP, FTP, Telnet, Serial, RDP, VNC and Spice, and includes terminal and file-manager functionality across desktop, mobile, web and self-hosted platforms. Termius is worth considering for SSH and SFTP across mobile and desktop: its free Starter plan includes a local vault and port forwarding, while Pro is listed at $10.00 per month when paid annually.
XPipe is another freemium, open-core option for Linux, macOS and Windows, with its application core available under Apache License 2.0 and some paid features closed-source. Tabby is a free, forever-FOSS choice for Linux, macOS and Windows. For a narrower Unix utility, agedu is a free MIT-licensed option for Linux and web.
WindTerm is free for commercial and non-commercial use without limitations on Linux, macOS and Windows, with partially open source code. Windows users focused on file transfer can choose WinSCP, a free open-source client supporting SFTP, FTP, FTPS, SCP, WebDAV and S3. Ásbrú Connection Manager is a free, GPL-3 connection manager for Linux and Windows. For category roundups, browse SSH Clients or Remote Connection Manager Software.
Verdict
Choose Royal TS if your remote administration spans protocols and systems and you want shared connection documents, credential controls and automation together. The €49.00 one-time license is a sensible individual upgrade from Lite; for teams, the decisive drawback is the step up to site or global licensing. If you need only a free terminal or file-transfer tool, a narrower alternative is likely a better fit.
