## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that the "best" MDM depends almost entirely on what your fleet looks like, so here's who I'd actually name, in the order I'd reach for them:
> 
> **1. Kandji - if your remote team is mostly Macs (the common startup/agency case)**
> Best-in-class Apple device management with a genuinely modern admin experience. Its "Blueprints" + Auto Apps (auto-patching third-party apps) and Liftoff zero-touch onboarding are what make it good specifically for remote work - a laptop ships from Apple straight to someone's apartment and configures itself with no IT hands on it. Pricing is now custom/quote-based, roughly in the $1.60-$3.20/device/mo range on listed tiers. ([costbench](https://costbench.com/software/mdm/kandji/alternatives/))
> 
> **2. Mosyle - if you want Kandji-class Apple management on a tight budget**
> Essentially the value pick for Apple fleets: $0-$3/device/mo, with a free tier that real small teams can use. Fuse bundles MDM + endpoint security + identity + patching. Slightly rougher UI than Kandji, excellent price-to-capability. ([costbench](https://costbench.com/software/mdm/compare-all), [spotsaas](https://www.spotsaas.com/blog/mdm-pricing))

> **3. Microsoft Intune - i
