Royal TS

Royal TS is a remote management solution for organizing connections to remote systems. It supports RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, RS232, Raw, Rlogin, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP and SCP, along with web interfaces. Integrations include TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V and Windows system tools such as Events, Services, Processes and Terminal Services. Sensitive information in documents is encrypted, and documents can be password protected or locked. Teams can share connection documents while keeping personal credentials in a separate private document. Command and key-sequence tasks, as well as PowerShell scripts, can automate tasks and document management. Secure Gateway uses SSH port forwarding for tunneling Remote Desktop, VNC, SSH and Telnet connections. Dynamic Folders and Dynamic Credentials can import external data, and shared documents can be synchronized through a file share or cloud service. The free Lite plan allows up to 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document. A 30-day trial is available. The Single User License costs €49 once, with no subscription or annual fees.

Royal TS combines broad connection support with document security, team sharing and automation. The free Lite plan has defined limits, while paid licenses are one-time purchases.

Royal TS suits individuals and teams managing remote connections across supported protocols and systems. Its shared documents and separate private credentials may help teams collaborate while keeping personal credentials apart.

Royal TS is remote-management software for organizing connections and administering systems across a range of protocols. It is best suited to administrators and teams handling mixed environments who need shared connection documents, credential controls and automation. Its broad coverage is the draw; the Lite plan’s strict caps and the jump to a paid license matter once a setup grows.

Overview

Royal TS brings remote sessions, file-transfer connections and system-management integrations into a document-based workspace. It covers SSH, RDP, VNC, Telnet, FTP, SFTP and SCP, alongside web interfaces and integrations such as TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V and Windows management components. That breadth makes it a stronger fit for varied administration than a client focused on a single protocol.

Workspaces support session management, and teams 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 down. This offers useful controls for shared environments, but teams still need to manage which connection details belong in shared documents and which should remain private.

Key features

Connections and system tools

Alongside RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP and SCP, supported protocols include RS232, Raw and Rlogin. Integrations extend to TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V, Windows Events, Windows Services, Windows Processes, Terminal Services and PowerShell. Administrators managing different kinds of infrastructure can consolidate more work in one tool; someone needing only a basic SSH client may not benefit from that range.

Credentials, sharing and automation

Royal TS can use LastPass and KeePass as external credential sources. Dynamic Folders and Dynamic Credentials import external data and can retrieve credential properties when a connection opens, which helps when connection information is maintained outside the application. Command Tasks, Key Sequence Tasks and PowerShell scripting can automate repetitive work and document management.

Multiple users can edit and synchronize documents through a file share or a cloud service such as Dropbox, without a SQL database back end. That avoids requiring a separate database for this collaboration model. The Secure Gateway uses SSH port forwarding to tunnel Remote Desktop, VNC, SSH and Telnet connections, a useful option when those sessions need to pass through a gateway.

Pricing

Royal TS offers a free 30-day trial of Royal TS/X without limitations, which gives prospective buyers a way to evaluate the full product before committing. The Lite plan costs nothing and caps usage at 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document. Those limits make it suitable for a small personal setup or initial evaluation, but restrictive for teams or administrators with larger inventories.

The Single User License costs €49, paid once, with no subscription or annual fees, and covers one user across multiple devices. It is the clearest fit for an individual who has outgrown Lite and does not need a team-wide license.

For organizations, the Site License costs €849, paid once and covers unlimited users on a single site; it includes one year of software maintenance. The Global License costs €1,699, paid once for unlimited users on multiple sites, also with one year of maintenance. The Extended Global License costs €3,199, paid once for unlimited users on multiple sites and includes three years of software maintenance. These tiers scale by site reach and maintenance term, so buyers should match the license to their organization’s footprint rather than user count alone.

The Enterprise License covers unlimited users in all subsidiaries and uses custom pricing. Royal Apps also provides a support ticket form for questions and issues.

Platforms

Royal TS is available for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, with an extension also supported. The breadth across desktop and mobile platforms can suit teams using different device types, though the listed management protocols and integrations are particularly relevant to administrators building a centralized connection workspace.

Who it's for

Royal TS is a strong choice for system administrators and IT teams that handle a mix of remote-access protocols, file transfer and platform-management tools. Shared documents, separate private credentials and synchronization through file shares or cloud storage support collaborative work without a SQL database back end. Individuals with a small number of connections can begin with Lite, while those exceeding its caps will need a paid license.

It is less compelling for someone who only needs an SSH terminal or a simple mobile client: the breadth of administration features may be unnecessary, and Lite’s small quotas can be a poor fit once connection lists expand.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad protocol and integration coverage lets administrators consolidate varied remote connections and system tools.
• Pros: Encrypted, password-protected documents and separate private credentials support safer team sharing.
• Pros: Dynamic imports, external credential sources and task automation can reduce repetitive administration work.
• Pros: One-time individual and site-based licenses avoid an ongoing subscription fee.
• Cons: Lite stops at 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document, limiting its usefulness for established environments.
• Cons: Organization licenses reach hundreds or thousands of euros, and Enterprise pricing is custom, making the right tier a significant purchasing decision.

Alternatives

ConnectBot is a free, open-source Android SSH client; choose it when SSH on Android and publicly auditable source code matter more than Royal TS’s broader management scope.

Core Shell is an iOS and macOS option with a free Basic plan offering unlimited hosts and a Premium plan at $29.99 a year; it is a better fit for Apple users who want an SSH and serial-connection tool with profile import, export and synchronization.

electerm is a free MIT-licensed terminal and file manager with support for SSH, SFTP, FTP, Telnet, Serial, RDP, VNC and Spice. Choose it when that combination and its Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web and Windows platform coverage suit your needs.

It is an alternative for users seeking an Apple-platform SSH client rather than Royal TS’s broader remote-management workspace.

Termius spans Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. Its free Starter plan includes a local vault, SSH and SFTP, AI-powered autocomplete and port forwarding; choose it when that more focused cross-platform connection tool meets your needs.

Blink Shell is a paid iOS option with a free trial. Prompt is a paid option for iOS and macOS with a free trial. SHELLNGN is a paid option across Android, iOS, self-hosted and web platforms, also with a free trial.

Verdict

Royal TS is the right choice for administrators and teams that need a shared, security-conscious workspace across multiple remote protocols and management integrations. Its document protections, automation and flexible team licensing give it substance beyond a connection launcher. Look elsewhere if your needs are limited to a basic SSH client, or if Lite’s connection and credential caps are too low and the paid license tiers are out of reach.
