Checkout Anydesk.com. I've used it occasionally for one-off attended connections and it works very well.
Casual personal use is free but their pay options include annual or one time fee options. For example the level that might work for your client costs $79 per year OR a one time fee of about $350. Those prices are at least affordable and you can start off on the free model then see how it goes from there.

Customer is a small business and NOT tech savvy at all (so don't suggest "UltraVNC configured oh so cool!"). I warned her you get what you pay for many times, but said I'd research it. I use TeamViewer and it's great for me but overkill for her. TV has a free license but the wording appears to be such that it's for accessing your personal home computer from work (not the other direction). LogMeIn (as we've noted here) kept jacking up prices, and they have no more free version. I've got a question into gotomypc.com to see if unattended access is an option for their product (although it's not free either). I have no problem telling a client that free isn't possible but I did say I'd check first. GotoMyPC's pricing isn't bad for the single user if she can use it in unattended access mode: https://get.gotomypc.com/plansandpricing
