If your company runs on Macs and iPhones, you need MDM to enrol, configure, secure and wipe them. Three vendors dominate the [Apple](/entry/bear-vs-upnote-vs-apple-notes-the-lightweight-note-app-priced)-only space, and the price spread is wide.
| Free tier | Paid | Minimum | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mosyle | up to 30 devices | Business ~$2/device/mo; Business Plus ~$5 | low |
| Kandji | none | quote-based (premium; ~$5–15/device above Mosyle) | ~100 devices reported |
| Jamf | none | Jamf for Mac ~$12.50/device/mo (Jamf Pro contracts lower) | 25 devices, annual |
Mosyle is the price leader and it isn't close — free up to 30 devices, then around $2/device/month for Business, $5 for Business Plus (which adds endpoint security and identity). For a small or cost-conscious company it does the core MDM job well at a fraction of the others' cost.
Jamf is the enterprise standard — the deepest Apple feature support, usually first to support new macOS/iOS capabilities on day one, the largest ecosystem of integrations and expertise. Jamf for Mac lists at $12.50/device/month with a 25-device minimum and annual billing; larger Jamf Pro contracts negotiate down to the $3–8 range. You pay for maturity and Apple-Enterprise credibility.
Kandji sits between them on capability and above Mosyle on price — its pitch is automation ("Blueprints"), a big library of pre-built configuration items, and built-in endpoint detection. Pricing is quote-only and has crept up under competitive pressure; expect $5–15/device above Mosyle, with a device minimum that prices out very small teams.
Small team or tight budget: Mosyle. Large org that wants day-one Apple feature support and the biggest ecosystem: Jamf. Mid-size team that values automation and bundled security and will pay a premium for polish: Kandji.
