We use a peer-to-peer connection for the streaming video, but most of the rest is mediated by our servers. And future fancy features will require additional server resources, including video transcoding. So you are right, this is exactly why we are pursuing a subscription model.

We use it inside the Screenhero office quite a lot too—Aside from eating our own dogfood, it lets us point without physically jabbing our fingers at the screen, which is actually pretty powerful!

The nice thing about having a native client is that we (Screenhero) have full control over latency (well, outside of network issues of course!) and responsiveness, as well as those deep hooks into the hardware to make the multi-mouse magic happen. Our goal is to make /any/ app collaborative, without requiring developers hook into our API. I am curious what kind of apps you have in mind that might need to give hints to Screenhero? Give it a try, we think you'll find our active-cursor algorithm quite good—and if you don't, we want to hear your feedback!

Jemm, speaking for Screenhero, we take your concerns seriously (many certainly share them), so don't freak out just yet! We're trying to think of the right pricing scheme that doesn't scare off our individual users, and we are certainly open to feedback and suggestions on this front.
