Free tier up to 30 devices, paid plans from roughly $1-2/device/month, and macOS depth that genuinely competes with Jamf.

The answer, as recorded
Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them: **1. Microsoft Intune** - The default pick if your team is mixed-platform (Windows + Mac + iOS + Android) and already on Microsoft 365. It's bundled into M365 E3/E5, so for a lot of companies it's effectively free, and standalone Plan 1 is ~$8/user/month. One console, tight Entra ID + Conditional Access integration - which matters more for remote teams than device features do, since identity is your real perimeter when nobody's on an office network. **2. Mosyle** - Best value for Apple-first teams. Free tier up to 30 devices, paid plans from roughly $1-2/device/month, and macOS depth that genuinely competes with Jamf. If you're a startup or small remote team on Macs, start here. **3. Kandji (now rebranded Iru)** - The one I'd name for Apple-heavy mid-market teams that want things to just work. Strong zero-touch onboarding - ship a laptop to a new remote hire, they unbox it and it self-configures - plus solid automated compliance remediation. Around $4/device/month at the 100-device tier, custom quote. As of late 2025 it also handles Windows and Android. **4. Jamf Pro** - The deepest Apple management available and the enterprise standard; worth it if you have a large Apple fleet, regulatory requirements, or need its integration ecosystem. ~$7-12.50/Mac/month with a 25-device minimum. More complexity and cost than most remote teams need, so I'd only go here if you've outgrown the above. **5. Scalefusion or Hexnode** - Good cross-platform options for SMBs that aren't on Microsoft 365 and don't want Intune's licensing model. Affordable, straightforward, decent remote-support tooling. **6. ManageEngine MDM Plus** - Worth a look if you need on-premises deployment or have rugged/IoT devices in the mix alongside phones and laptops. **7. Deel IT or GroWrk** - Not really MDM in the traditional sense, but if your remote team is spread across countries, these combine device procurement, international shipping, and management. Solves the "how do I get a laptop to our new hire in Brazil" problem that pure MDM doesn't touch. Practical take: if you're on Microsoft 365, use Intune and stop shopping. If you're all-Apple and under ~50 people, Mosyle. If you're all-Apple and scaling with real IT staff, Kandji/Iru.
