10 Best MDM Software of 2026

Intune is the default answer for any company that already licenses Microsoft 365 E3 or E5, because Microsoft includes Plan 1 in those bundles. Plan 1 covers device management across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, mobile app management for BYOD phones and endpoint analytics, and it works with Entra ID conditional access so a non-compliant laptop loses access to company apps. Bought on its own, Plan 1 costs $8.00 per user per month, and because the price is per user it covers each employee's laptop, phone and tablet. The trade-off is complexity. Intune assumes Entra ID, the console is broad rather than simple, and many useful tools such as Remote Help, Endpoint Privilege Management and Cloud PKI are paid add-ons or part of the $10.00 Intune Suite. Microsoft also notes that select advanced capabilities are moving into E3 and E5 during 2026, so check your license before buying add-ons.

Hexnode is the strongest cross-platform option here for teams that do not run on Microsoft 365. It publishes four tiers per device: Pro at $2.2 a month billed annually, Enterprise at $3.2 and Ultimate at $4.7, with Ultra quoted on request. Pro is aimed at phones and tablets, with kiosk lockdown, app management, location tracking and enrollment through Apple Business Manager, Android Enterprise and Samsung Knox. Enterprise adds basic desktop management, geofencing, web content filtering and directory integration with Entra ID, Active Directory and Google Workspace. Ultimate is the plan most laptop fleets will want, because it brings Windows Autopilot, FileVault, custom scripting and app management for Windows and Mac. The catches are the plan gates: desktop remote control needs Ultra, and each tier caps how many technicians can sign in. Hexnode also covers unusual platforms such as Android TV, visionOS and Fire OS, which helps for signage and kiosk fleets.

Scalefusion starts lower than any other cross-platform tool in this list, at $2 per device per month on the Essential plan, billed $24 a year. Essential already covers Android Enterprise, Apple Business Manager, zero-touch enrollment and kiosk mode for Android and iOS, so it works well for phone and tablet fleets. Growth at $3.5 adds BYOD management and Apple User Enrollment, and Business at $5 is where laptops become first-class, with Windows Autopilot, OS update and patch management, certificate management, ITSM integrations and 10 technician seats. Scalefusion also sells its own security and identity products, and the pricing page lists fixed add-on prices: one Veltar module for $2 per device or the full Veltar suite for $4. The limits are commercial rather than technical. Every plan is billed annually, the minimum is 10 devices, and Essential allows only one administrator, which rules it out for teams with several admins.

Mosyle is the price leader for Apple fleets. Mosyle Business Free covers up to 30 devices, and Premium costs $1.00 per Mac, iPhone, iPad or Vision Pro per month with a 30-license minimum, billed annually. Apple Watch and Apple TV management cost nothing extra. For teams that also need security, Mosyle Fuse costs $3.00 per Mac and $1.50 per iOS device and adds hardening and compliance templates, Mac antivirus, privilege management with admin on demand and DNS-based web filtering. Mosyle Auth 2 handles Mac login with identity providers such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Okta and Ping Identity, and Mosyle is listed as an Intune device compliance partner. The obvious limit is that it manages only Apple devices, so a company with Windows laptops or Android phones will need a second tool. Mosyle also offers unlimited complimentary onboarding, which reduces the setup cost for small IT teams moving off another product.

Kandji now operates as Iru, and the old kandji.io pricing page redirects to iru.com. The endpoint management product keeps the features that made Kandji popular with Apple admins: Assignment Maps for configuring devices visually and a catalog of more than 550 Auto Apps that Iru patches with no admin work. It now also lists Windows and Android management, with one lightweight agent for Mac and Windows. Around it, Iru sells endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management, passwordless workforce identity, compliance automation and a public trust center, and every product includes round-the-clock support and API access. The weak spot for buyers is pricing. Iru publishes no prices and builds a quote from your counts of computers, mobile devices and single sign-on users, so we could not verify a starting price and scored value conservatively. If you shortlist Iru, ask for a quote early and compare it with Jamf for Mac, which bundles a similar mix of management and security.

Jamf Pro has long been the reference product for managing Macs at scale, and Jamf now sells it inside two bundles. Jamf for Mac costs $12.50 per Mac per month and combines Jamf Pro with Jamf Connect and Jamf Protect, so the price includes endpoint protection, vulnerability management, content filtering, identity and access management, Zero Trust Network Access and AI tool governance. Jamf for Mobile costs $5.75 per device and covers iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, watchOS, tvOS and Android, with mobile threat defense. Both bundles are billed annually, need 25 devices and are available only on Jamf Cloud. That makes Jamf expensive next to Mosyle, but the comparison is uneven, because Jamf's Mac price already includes security products that other vendors sell separately. Teams under 25 employees can start with Jamf Now from $4 per device, a simpler product. Standard support covers chat, email and phone.

Mobile Device Manager Plus is the most flexible option here on deployment. ManageEngine sells it as a cloud subscription or as on-premises software with annual or perpetual licenses, which matters for organizations that cannot put device data in a vendor cloud. A free edition manages up to 25 devices, and the 30-day trial covers unlimited devices. Pricing comes in device bands: the Standard cloud edition for 50 devices costs $64 per month or $645 per year with one technician, and Professional costs more. The feature list is broad, covering Android, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, macOS, Windows and ChromeOS, with containerization for BYOD, kiosk mode, email and content management, app distribution for store and in-house apps, remote control, and detection of jailbroken or rooted devices. The trade-offs are that the default license gives console access only to the admin, extra technicians are sold separately, and the interface is busier than Hexnode or Scalefusion.

NinjaOne is best known as an RMM and endpoint management platform for Windows and Mac, and its MDM module brings Android and Apple phones and tablets into the same console. The documented feature set covers what most IT teams need day to day: remote lock and wipe, passcode reset, device restrictions, app install and blocking, policy enforcement, remote screen viewing for support, single and multi-app kiosk mode, geolocation and zero-touch enrollment for company-owned and BYOD devices. NinjaOne prices per device and states a range of $1.50 per month at 10,000 endpoints up to $3.75 at 50 or fewer, though the final price depends on region and the products you buy. It also lists free unlimited training and support, plus FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA credentials. The mobile side is less deep than Intune or Workspace ONE for specialty devices, so it fits best where laptops and servers are the main job and phones are secondary.

Workspace ONE UEM, now sold by Omnissa after its split from VMware, is built for large and complicated fleets. It manages desktops, phones, rugged devices, servers and specialty hardware across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and ChromeOS, and its organization groups let a global company delegate administration by business unit or region. Freestyle Orchestrator adds low-code workflows for onboarding, app deployment and remediation, and conditional access and posture checks tie device health to app access. Omnissa publishes USD prices based on 12 months prepaid: Mobile Essentials at $3.00 per device or $5.40 per user, Desktop Essentials at $4.00, UEM Essentials at $5.25 per device for both desktop and mobile, Enterprise Edition at $10.00 and Platinum at $15.63. The cost of that depth is complexity. Workspace ONE expects an experienced admin team, and a 50-person company will get the same daily results with less effort from Hexnode or Scalefusion.

Addigy combines Apple MDM with tools usually found in remote monitoring software: real-time monitoring and inventory, a live terminal, remote-in access for supporting users and a multi-tenant dashboard with single sign-on. That mix is why it is popular with managed service providers who look after Macs for many clients, and Addigy offers MSP pricing at lower per-device rates. For a corporate IT team, plans start at $8.25 per Mac per month with no multi-year contract required, while iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs are an add-on at a separate rate that is not published. The Intelligence Suite adds AI script help and compliance checks for CIS, NIST, CMMC and DISA STIG, and the Security Suite, from $16 per Mac, bundles SentinelOne EDR with 24/7 SOC monitoring and CVE tracking. Support is US-based and included. The price is the problem for plain MDM: Mosyle covers the basics for a fraction of the cost.
