Spyrix alternative A better way to monitor your own computers on Windows, Mac and Ubuntu
Spyrix Personal Monitor is a capable monitoring tool, but many users look for an alternative because of its hidden pricing calculator, the lack of Linux support and annual-heavy plans. Anywhere Monitor covers Windows, Mac and Ubuntu, publishes its prices, and lets you pay monthly.
