About Prusa Connect
Prusa Connect is a web service from Prusa Research for managing Prusa 3D printers from anywhere. You can upload and manage G-code files in free cloud storage, start and watch prints, and follow progress through a webcam or an old phone or tablet used as a camera.
Each printer has its own print queue and history, and several printers can be added so jobs and files are spread between them. Statistics cover efficiency, filament use, real-time telemetry and detailed job logs. It works only with supported Prusa printers and needs a Prusa account.

SimplyPrint
A cloud platform for slicing, monitoring, queueing and managing one or many 3D printers.
SimplyPrint supports many printer brands in the cloud with a browser slicer, monitoring and queueing, but advanced fleet features cost extra and it is third-party.
OctoPrint
Control and monitor a 3D printer from a browser.
OctoPrint is free AGPL-3.0 software you self-host for browser control and monitoring with plugins, requiring a host computer next to the printer.
OctoEverywhere
A cloud service giving remote access, AI failure detection and notifications for home 3D printers.
OctoEverywhere gives cloud remote access with AI failure detection for OctoPrint, Klipper, Bambu Lab and Elegoo printers rather than Prusa's own service.
Obico
Open-source platform for monitoring and controlling 3D printers remotely, with AI print failure detection.
Obico is AGPL-3.0 open source with remote control, AI failure detection and mobile apps, can be self-hosted, and works with OctoPrint, Klipper and RepRapFirmware.
FDM Monster
A self-hosted dashboard for managing a farm of 3D printers running OctoPrint, Moonraker, PrusaLink or Bambu Lab firmware.
FDM Monster is a free self-hosted dashboard supporting PrusaLink along with OctoPrint, Moonraker and Bambu Lab printers, but it needs a server and setup.
Repetier-Server
A self-hosted server for controlling and monitoring several 3D printers from a web browser.
Repetier-Server runs several printers from a local self-hosted server with webcam timelapse, which Prusa Connect lacks, though some features need the paid Pro version.
AstroPrint
A cloud platform for storing 3D models, slicing online and monitoring 3D printers remotely.
AstroPrint is a paid cloud platform with browser slicing, shared queues and user permissions, connecting through an OctoPrint plugin among other options.
