## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For remote teams the deciding factor is what's in the fleet, because "best" splits cleanly along Apple / Windows / mixed lines. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. JumpCloud - my default pick for most remote teams.** It bundles MDM with the directory, SSO, and MFA, which matters when you have no office, no domain controller, and no network perimeter to lean on. Device management runs **$9/user/month annually ($11 monthly)**, or $13-15 with identity and MFA bundled. Per-*user* pricing rather than per-device is a real advantage when people carry a laptop plus a phone. Cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android) with zero-touch Mac shipping. ([JumpCloud pricing](https://costbench.com/software/identity-access-management/jumpcloud/), [JumpCloud vs Intune](https://jumpcloud.com/jumpcloud-vs-microsoft-intune))
> 
> **2. Mosyle - if you're Apple-only and cost-conscious.** **$1-3/device/month with a free tier up to 30 devices**, which is the cheapest credible option on the market. Genuinely good at Apple, not a cross-platform tool with Mac bolted on. The free tier makes it the obvious starting point for a small startup.
