The best SureMDM alternatives
#1Microsoft Intune
Best for: Microsoft 365 organisations4.5/5 on
G2 (272 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit microsoft.com
Starting price$8/user/month
Free planNo
Microsoft Intune is the best choice for Microsoft 365 organizations. It manages iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS from one console, with deep integration into Entra ID, Office apps, and Microsoft security tools. That integration means device policies, app deployment, and compliance checks sit beside the identity and productivity stack teams already run.
Plan 1 costs $8 per user per month standalone, and it is included in Business Premium, E3, and E5 bundles, so existing subscribers may already have access. A 30-day trial covers evaluation, but there is no free tier. Small fleets may find Intune complex compared with Miradore or Mosyle, while Microsoft-centric organizations get the best value here.
What we like- Deep Microsoft 365 integration
- Covers iOS, Android, Windows, macOS
- Included in Business Premium, E3, E5
- Strong security and compliance
Watch out for- Standalone Plan 1 costs $8 per user per month
- 30-day trial only
- Complexity for small fleets
- Per-user pricing adds up

G2 (2,443 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit jamf.com
Starting price$4/device/month
Free planYes
Jamf is the Apple fleet specialist for organizations managing iPhones, iPads, and Macs at scale. It offers deep Apple automation through Apple Business Manager, zero-touch enrollment, and app deployment, with Jamf Now from $4 per device per month for simple management and Jamf for Mobile at $5.75 per device per month. Jamf for Mac costs $12.50 per device per month in published comparisons.
Jamf Now is free for up to 3 devices, which suits very small Apple fleets testing management. Full management covers Apple platforms only, with Windows support limited, so mixed fleets need a cross-platform tool alongside Jamf. Apple-first organizations that want the deepest Apple automation should put Jamf first.
What we like- Apple fleet specialist
- Jamf Now free up to 3 devices
- Jamf for Mobile $5.75
- Jamf for Mac $12.50 per device per month

G2 (283 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit hexnode.com
Starting price$2.20/device/month
Free planNo
Hexnode UEM is the best-value cross-platform option, covering iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux from one console. It suits BYOD and mixed fleets, with kiosk mode, app management, and compliance policies that work across platforms. That breadth makes it the closest all-platform replacement for SureMDM.
Pricing starts at $2.20 per device per month billed annually for MDM Essentials, with a 15-device minimum and a 14-day trial, while UEM Essentials costs $4.70 per device per month in published comparisons. There is no free tier, so small fleets under 15 devices should test Miradore or ManageEngine free tiers first. Mixed fleets that want value across platforms will find Hexnode the strongest pick.
What we like- Best-value cross-platform UEM
- Covers iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux
- 14-day trial
- Strong kiosk and BYOD features
Watch out for- 15-device minimum

Scalefusion suits Android, kiosk, and frontline device fleets, with strong support for rugged hardware, signage, and shared devices. It covers Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and ChromeOS, with zero-trust features and kiosk lockdown that frontline teams need. That focus makes it the best choice for logistics, retail, and field operations.
Pricing starts at $2 per device per month billed annually for Essentials, covering Android and iOS, with a 10-device minimum and a 14-day trial. Business costs $5 per device per month billed annually for broader Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS support. Frontline and kiosk fleets should test Scalefusion first, while office fleets may prefer Hexnode or Intune.
What we like- Strong for Android, kiosk, and frontline devices

#5Mosyle
Best for: Lowest-cost Apple management4.6/5 on
G2 (57 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit mosyle.com
Starting price$1/device/month
Free planYes
Mosyle is the lowest-cost Apple management option, starting at $1 per device per month for Business Premium, with a free tier covering up to 30 devices. That free tier makes it the cheapest way to start managing a small Apple fleet, and the paid tier stays far below Jamf for Mac pricing. Apple-focused automation covers enrollment, app deployment, and compliance for iOS and macOS.
Coverage is Apple only, with no Windows or Android support, so mixed fleets need another tool. Feature depth sits below Jamf Pro for large fleets, though small and mid-size Apple fleets will not miss the gap. Apple-first companies that want low cost and simple management should test Mosyle first.
What we like- Lowest-cost Apple management
- Business Premium from $1 per device per month
- Free up to 30 devices
- Apple-focused automation
Watch out for- Apple only, no Windows or Android
- Business Premium features limited compared with Jamf Pro
- Smaller ecosystem

Starting price$495/year

ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus suits on-premises deployments and free small fleets. It is free for up to 25 devices, with on-premises and cloud options, plus advanced scripting and remote control that IT teams value. Platform coverage includes iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and tvOS, which suits mixed fleets.
Pricing starts at 50 devices from $495 per year for on-premises Standard, with cloud Professional near $23.90 per device per year in published comparisons.

What we like- Free up to 25 devices
- On-premises option
- Advanced scripting and remote control
- Covers all major platforms plus ChromeOS
Watch out for- 50 devices from $495 per year
- Cloud Professional near $23.90 per device per year

Visit miradore.com
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Miradore suits budget-conscious small teams that want a free mixed fleet manager. It is free for up to 50 devices, with Premium at $2.75 per device per month billed annually in one comparison and $3.30 in another, so confirm the current rate. Platform coverage includes Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with simple setup and core policies for app deployment and security.
Free tier features are limited compared with Premium, and the ecosystem is smaller than Intune or Jamf, with fewer integrations. For fleets under 50 devices that want free management without a trial clock, Miradore is the best starting point, and Premium stays affordable as the fleet grows.
What we like- Free up to 50 devices
- Budget-friendly Premium at $2.75 per device per month
- Covers all major platforms
- Simple setup
Watch out for- Premium features limited on free tier
- Premium Plus higher at $4.75 in some comparisons

Starting price$9/user/month
Free planNo
JumpCloud suits IT teams that want identity and device management together. It combines directory services, single sign-on, and device policies in one platform, with zero-trust access controls that suit remote teams. Platform coverage includes Windows, macOS, iOS, and Linux, with Android support limited in some comparisons.
Device Management costs $9 per user per month billed annually, with higher tiers at $13 to $15 per user per month and platform tiers quote-only. A 30-day trial covers evaluation, but there is no free tier. Teams consolidating identity and device tools will find JumpCloud practical, while device-only buyers should prefer Hexnode or Miradore.

How we chose
We compared SureMDM alternatives on platform coverage, free tier size, per-device or per-user pricing, device minimums, kiosk and frontline support, and deployment model. SureMDM itself focuses on Android and cross-platform device management with kiosk features, so we weighted cross-platform tools with kiosk support against Apple specialists and free small-fleet options. We flagged pricing figures that vary across comparisons, such as Miradore Premium and ManageEngine cloud rates, rather than presenting one figure as certain. Prices come from vendor pages and published MDM comparisons from 2026, and they change often, so confirm the current price before purchase.
How to choose the right SureMDM alternative
Start with fleet shape. Apple-only fleets should test Mosyle free up to 30 devices or Jamf for scale, Microsoft 365 organizations should test Intune, and mixed fleets should test Hexnode or Miradore. Next, check the free tier and minimum that fit your count: Miradore free covers 50 devices, ManageEngine free covers 25, Mosyle free covers 30, while Hexnode requires 15 devices and Scalefusion requires 10. Finally, match the deployment model: on-premises teams should test ManageEngine, frontline and kiosk teams should test Scalefusion, and identity-focused teams should test JumpCloud.
