Which should you choose?

Parsec: Low-latency remote desktop for gaming and co-op.

Medal: Free game clipping and sharing app.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
