An AirDroid and Vysor alternative for many Android phones
In short: AirDroid and Vysor help you reach a phone from a computer, for file transfer, remote support, device management or mirroring. For a desk or lab full of test phones, BenchFleet shows every phone on one screen, takes control in one click and, on paid plans, automates the same steps across phones. It is free for 3 phones.
AirDroid and Vysor are popular ways to reach an Android phone from a computer. AirDroid is built around your own phone, remote support and, in its business edition, managing company devices; Vysor mirrors a phone to your computer or browser. BenchFleet is made for a different job: a desk or a lab full of phones that someone has to watch over, take over and automate.
Free for up to 3 phones, with no account. Pro adds workflows, schedules and AI for up to 25 phones from £12 a month + VAT.

What BenchFleet does for a room full of phones
- Every phone on one screen: each phone is a live tile with its screen, name, connection and mode, and anything that needs you shows in red.
- One click to take control: mouse, keyboard and clipboard on the phone, with its files, apps, logcat and a terminal on the same page.
- Health at a glance: battery, charging, temperature, storage, memory and the app in front, for every phone.
- The same thing on many phones (Pro): install an app, launch it, reboot or take screenshots on a whole group, or mirror your taps on one phone to the others.
- Automation (Pro): workflows, schedules and AI with your own model.
Local by default
BenchFleet runs on your computer and talks to phones by USB or over your own Wi-Fi. It starts in Local mode, where nothing leaves your computer and your network until you switch to API mode, and it sends no telemetry. Every action on a phone is recorded with who did it.
Where AirDroid or Vysor is the better choice
- You need to reach one phone over the internet, such as a relative's or a customer's.
- You want messages, notifications and photos from your own phone on your computer.
- You manage company phones' policies and apps, which is the job of device management, not of BenchFleet.

Questions
Is BenchFleet a replacement for AirDroid?
For one job, seeing and controlling many Android phones from one computer. It does not move messages or photos from your own phone, offer remote support over the internet, or manage company phones' policies.
How is BenchFleet different from Vysor?
Vysor mirrors a phone to your computer or browser and lets you control it. BenchFleet shows every connected phone at once, with health, groups and an audit log, and on paid plans it adds workflows, schedules and AI for the whole fleet.
Do I need an account or an app on each phone?
No account for the Free plan, and no app from a store. BenchFleet uses Android's debugging connection, which you turn on in Developer options; for automation it adds a small helper that reads the screen's interface.
Do my phones' screens go through a cloud service?
No. BenchFleet runs on your computer and starts in Local mode, where nothing leaves your computer and your network, and it sends no telemetry.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free shows and controls 3 phones at a time, with no account and no time limit. Pro covers 25 phones and adds automation and AI.
