7 Addigy Alternatives: Pricing, Features & Fit

In late 2024, some Addigy customers reported price increases of up to 100%, and the Reddit r/msp community reacted with a predictable level of frustration, calling the jump "ridiculous." That kind of pricing shock turns a hypothetical vendor comparison into an active search. Switching MDMs is not just a product decision, though. It involves re-enrollment, policy migration, and user communication, all of which take time and budget.

If you're running that search right now, here are the seven alternatives this article covers: Mosyle, Jamf, Iru (formerly Kandji), Hexnode, Microsoft Intune, JumpCloud, and Trio MDM. They fall into two camps, Apple-only tools and cross-platform solutions, and knowing which camp fits your environment is the fastest way to shortlist.

The right pick depends on two things: whether you manage Apple-only or mixed fleets, and whether you're an MSP or internal IT. Pricing across this market runs from $0 (Mosyle's free tier) to $14+/device/month at larger Jamf deal sizes, so the range is wide and the fit criteria matter more than the headline numbers.

This article opens with a quick overview of Addigy and the documented reasons people leave it, then walks through all seven alternatives with pricing and use-case fit. After that: a comparison table, a section on the MSP vs. internal IT split, an update on the 2025 changes that make MDM migration less painful than it used to be, a DDM evaluation criterion most buyers miss, and a section on where Trio MDM fits.

What Addigy Is and Why People Switch

If you already know Addigy and know why you're leaving, skip ahead to the alternatives list below.

Addigy is a cloud-native Apple MDM platform built primarily for MSPs managing multiple client organizations. It covers macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS. Its key architectural differentiator is real-time, continuously connected device management, rather than the poll-based check-ins used by most MDMs. It also supports both traditional MDM and DDM (Declarative Device Management), includes Addigy Identity for SSO via Entra, Google, and Okta, and offers same-day OS support alongside PSA integrations that MSPs rely on.

The most common reason people search for Addigy MDM alternatives is pricing. Community-documented reports from November 2024 on Reddit r/msp described increases of up to 100% for some customers. Pricing changes happen across this market, but a doubling of cost is a legitimate trigger to re-evaluate. 96% of CIOs expect Mac investments to grow in the next 12–24 months, which means MDM spend is going up across the board, and picking the right vendor at the right price matters now more than before.

The second reason is Apple-only scope. G2 reviewers consistently flag the lack of Windows and Android management as a top con. If your fleet has grown beyond Mac and iPhone, Addigy doesn't cover the rest. The third reason, noted even by practitioners who rate the product highly, is support. A 2025 Reddit r/Addigy thread put it plainly: "It's not the product, I think the product is great. The biggest issue is the support." That's a meaningful distinction, the product quality is generally well-regarded, but support responsiveness is the area practitioners flag most often.

The 7 Best Addigy Alternatives

The alternatives to Addigy fall into two camps: Apple-specialist tools (Mosyle, Jamf, Iru) and cross-platform solutions (Hexnode, JumpCloud, Intune, Trio MDM). If you only manage Apple devices today, Apple-specialist tools offer deeper native integrations. If you manage, or expect to manage, Windows, Android, or Linux, a cross-platform tool avoids a second migration down the road.

Among Addigy competitors in the Apple-only category, pricing is clustered at similar ranges. Cross-platform tools vary more significantly, both in pricing model (per device vs. per user) and in how much depth they offer on the Apple side. Worth knowing before you start reading subsections.

Mosyle

Mosyle is an Apple-only MDM focused on business and education. The free plan covers up to 30 devices (Mosyle Business). Paid tiers include Mosyle Fuse at approximately $1.50/device/month, Business Premium at approximately $1/device/month, and Mosyle One reported by practitioners at approximately $0.75/device/month. It's the lowest-cost credible Apple MDM on the market.

If you're managing an Apple fleet with a mix of corporate and personal devices, check whether your enrollment model supports BYOD separation before committing, Mosyle's COD-focused model may require policy rework. Understanding the difference between mdm vs mam also matters if personal devices are part of your fleet, since the line between device-level and app-level management affects employee privacy choices.

Pros:

• Lowest cost credible Apple MDM on the market
• Strong Apple Business Manager and ADE integration
• Free tier works for fleets of 30 devices or fewer
• Highly rated for education deployments

Cons:

• Not designed for MSP multi-tenant management, community consensus in Reddit r/msp is "fantastic Mac MDM but not MSP-friendly," and the newer MSP product "misses the mark"
• Apple-only, no Windows, Android, or Linux support
• Limited cross-platform reporting for mixed-fleet organizations

Version note: Profile-Driven User Enrollment was deprecated in iOS 18 (September 2024). Any Apple MDM evaluation, Mosyle included, must confirm account-driven enrollment support for new iOS deployments.

Best for: Internal IT teams at Apple-first SMBs, schools, and budget-constrained deployments under 30 devices. Mosyle is purpose-built for a different buyer than Addigy's MSP core.

Jamf

Jamf Pro is the market standard for Apple enterprise management. The Business Plan bundles Pro with Jamf Connect and Jamf Protect. Published pricing runs approximately $13.65/device/month (annual, 25-device minimum, EU reseller data), with negotiated deals reported between $6–$12/device/month. Bundled plans come in around $14.33/device/month. Community data and Vendr estimates suggest $8–$20+ at typical deal sizes for mid-to-large organizations.

Pros:

• Deepest Apple MDM feature set on the market
• Strong compliance tooling across CIS, NIST, CMMC, and DISA STIG frameworks
• Large community, extensive documentation, and a dedicated training ecosystem
• Dedicated education product (Jamf School)

Cons:

• Among the most expensive Apple MDM options at typical deal sizes
• Primarily Apple-only at the Pro level; Windows management is limited
• Add-on products (Connect, Protect) increase total cost significantly
• 25-device minimum on published tiers

Among the most frequently cited Addigy competitors, Jamf is the logical upgrade path for Apple-focused enterprises willing to pay a premium for depth and compliance coverage.

Best for: Large Apple-first organizations, compliance-heavy environments (CMMC, DISA STIG), and IT teams with dedicated Mac admin headcount.

Iru (Formerly Kandji)

Kandji rebranded as Iru in 2025, and the scope changed significantly alongside the name. What was an Apple-only MDM has expanded to include Windows and Android management, identity, and EDR in a unified platform. Pricing moved to quote-only with the rebrand. Any published Kandji pricing you find is outdated.

Pre-rebrand, practitioners reported negotiating Kandji at approximately $6.50/device/month. Post-rebrand, budget accordingly and go in knowing what you paid for Addigy, that's your negotiating baseline. A frequently cited Reddit r/macsysadmin warning: "Kandji will beat Jamf on price initially, then chip away at it." The rebrand may accelerate that pattern with new line items across identity and EDR. For buyers prioritizing pricing predictability, that pattern is a reason to weight published per-device pricing heavily in any evaluation.

Pros:

• Strong Apple-native foundation built on Kandji's MDM depth
• Now cross-platform, Windows and Android added in 2025
• Includes identity and EDR in the unified platform

Cons:

• No published pricing post-rebrand, budgeting requires a sales conversation
• Community concern that the expanded platform will reset pricing expectations upward
• Combined identity + MDM + EDR scope may be over-engineered for small or simple Apple fleets

Moving to a unified identity + MDM + EDR platform also means your security and IT operations workflows will converge, factor in the change management time, not just the device migration time.

Best for: Mid-to-large organizations wanting a unified Apple + Windows + security platform, and organizations prepared to negotiate enterprise pricing.

Hexnode UEM

Hexnode positions itself as a unified endpoint management platform, meaning it manages macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, tvOS, and Fire OS from a single console. It has the widest OS coverage in this list. Tiered pricing is published, starting at $1/device/month (Express) and stepping up through Pro ($2), Enterprise ($3), Ultimate ($4), and Ultra ($5). The published starting price for cross-platform management with ABM integration is $2/device/month at the Pro tier.

Pros:

• Transparent, published tiered pricing with no "contact for quote" at entry and mid tiers
• Broadest OS coverage of any tool in this comparison
• ABM integration available at the Pro tier
• Strong kiosk mode and content filtering capabilities

Cons:

• Apple-specific management depth is less mature than Jamf or Mosyle
• Advanced macOS features (FileVault, custom scripts) are locked to higher tiers
• UI/UX is considered less polished than Apple-native tools by practitioners coming from Addigy

Best for: Mixed-fleet organizations prioritizing OS breadth and budget transparency, and organizations managing non-standard devices such as kiosk systems or digital signage.

Microsoft Intune

Microsoft Intune is Microsoft's cloud-based endpoint management platform, part of Microsoft 365 and Endpoint Manager. It covers Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. For most organizations already on Microsoft 365 Business Premium ($22/user/month bundled), Intune is already licensed, the marginal cost is effectively $0. As a standalone add-on, it runs approximately $8–$12/user/month depending on the licensing tier.

As of 2025, Microsoft Intune now uses DDM to manage macOS software updates, a meaningful upgrade for organizations that already run Intune for Windows and want to extend Apple management without a separate vendor.

Pros:

• Already included for many Microsoft 365 customers, no additional per-device cost
• Deep Windows management, the strongest in this list
• macOS management via DDM supported as of 2025
• Strong conditional access and Entra (Azure AD) integration

Cons:

• Apple management depth is significantly behind Jamf or Addigy
• Configuration complexity is high, the learning curve is steep
• Not purpose-built for Apple-first organizations
• Per-user pricing gets expensive for device-heavy, user-light deployments

Best for: Microsoft-first organizations with existing M365 licensing, and organizations managing primarily Windows with a secondary Apple fleet.

JumpCloud

JumpCloud is a cloud directory platform that combines MDM, identity, and IT management in one product. Per-user pricing runs approximately $9–$13/user/month depending on tier. It covers Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, which makes it one of the few tools in this list with genuine Linux management.

Pros:

• Identity and MDM in one platform, no separate IdP needed
• Linux management included alongside Mac, Windows, and mobile
• Good fit for organizations that want directory and endpoint management unified

Cons:

• A Reddit r/msp practitioner in 2025 described it as "too expensive and maybe too feature-rich" for Mac-only MDM needs
• Per-user pricing gets expensive fast in device-heavy environments
• MDM capabilities are considered less deep than Apple-specialist tools

JumpCloud makes sense when you need identity and MDM combined, if you only need MDM, the pricing model may overshoot the need.

Best for: Organizations that need directory and device management combined, and technically mature IT teams managing Linux alongside Mac and Windows.

Trio MDM

Trio MDM is a cross-platform MDM covering macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, and Linux. It's purpose-built MDM, not a bundled RMM or identity platform, with published per-device pricing across four tiers. Trio MDM's mobile device management solution covers five platforms from one console, with Apple Business Manager, Apple School Manager, and supervised mode for corporate iOS/iPadOS devices all supported.

Pricing:

• Pro: $2.20/device/month
• Enterprise: $3.20/device/month
• Ultimate: $4.70/device/month
• Ultra: Contact sales

Annual contracts required. 14-day free trial available.

Pros:

• Transparent, published per-device pricing across core tiers
• Full cross-platform support: Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, and Linux in one console
• ABM and ASM supported
• Supervised mode supported for corporate iOS/iPadOS devices
• CIS Level 1 and Level 2 compliance with automated remediation
• 14-day free trial available

Cons:

• Cloud version requires a minimum of 15 devices, organizations below that threshold should contact sales about options
• Not purpose-built for MSP multi-tenant use cases, Addigy's core MSP differentiator remains intact
• Advanced features like BitLocker and Defender management require the Ultra tier (contact sales for pricing)

Best for: Mixed-fleet SMBs (75–500 devices) managing Mac + iOS + Windows who want one platform with predictable pricing, and organizations migrating from an Apple-only tool as their fleet expands.

MSP vs. Internal IT: Which Alternatives Actually Fit

Defining your use case before evaluating vendors is the first decision in any MDM strategy, and the MSP vs. internal IT split is the most consequential one in this market. These two buyer types need fundamentally different things from an MDM, and several tools on this list are optimized for only one.

If You're an MSP Managing Multiple Clients

Addigy's multi-tenant architecture is purpose-built for this. Most alternatives on this list are not. Of the seven tools covered here, none were designed from the ground up for MSP multi-tenant Apple management the way Addigy was. Mosyle launched an MSP product, but practitioners on Reddit r/msp in 2025 were direct about it: "Mosyle is fantastic MDM but isn't designed for MSPs", and the new MSP offering "misses the mark."

If multi-tenancy is a hard requirement, the shortlist narrows quickly. MSPs evaluating alternatives should assess whether layering MDM onto an existing RMM platform meets their needs, though RMM-based MDM is not a like-for-like Apple MDM replacement. Choosing an MSP-focused tool as an internal IT team means paying for multi-tenant architecture you'll never use, and getting support calibrated to MSP workflows rather than your single-org setup.

If You're Internal IT at a Single Organization

Multi-tenancy is irrelevant, drop it as an evaluation criterion entirely. For internal IT, the decision comes down to fleet composition, compliance requirements, and budget. The decision tree below maps the common scenarios.

The MDM Migration Question, It Just Got Easier

Historically, the MDM migration process has required a factory reset for every ADE-enrolled device when moving to a new platform. That turns a vendor switch into a weeks-long project, which is exactly why organizations stay on platforms they've outgrown. It's the real reason Addigy's price increase didn't trigger immediate mass departures.

That constraint changed in 2025. As of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 (Tahoe, expected fall 2025), Apple Business Manager supports migrating ADE-enrolled devices to a new MDM without a factory reset. For organizations with ADE-enrolled devices running these OS versions, a move to any alternative on this list is now far less disruptive. The lock-in argument for staying on Addigy weakens significantly.

What the wipe-free migration does NOT cover:

• Devices not enrolled via ADE (manually enrolled or legacy enrollments) still require re-enrollment
• You cannot run two MDMs on the same device simultaneously during the transition
• Policy reconfiguration, app reinstallation, and user communication are still required

Even with wipe-free device migration, your MDM configuration profiles, custom scripts, and compliance baselines will not transfer automatically, budget time for policy rebuild, not just device enrollment. How modern mobile device management platforms handle re-enrollment has improved, but the configuration work remains.

If the wipe-free migration option doesn't appear in Apple Business Manager, check that all devices are running iOS 26 or macOS 26 first, the feature is OS-version-gated. Practitioners on Reddit r/macsysadmin recommend trialing any replacement MDM for 3–4 weeks before committing. The technical barrier to switching is now the lowest it has ever been, which makes this the right time to run that trial.

One More Thing: DDM Support Is Now an Evaluation Criterion

DDM (Declarative Device Management) is Apple's updated management framework. Rather than waiting for MDM server polls, devices proactively enforce configurations and report their own status. The result is reduced server load, more reliable update management, and a more secure architecture by design.

This question probably won't appear on vendor comparison pages, but you should ask it in every demo: does this MDM support DDM for software update management? Apple's own DDM documentation confirms that legacy MDM update management approaches are being phased out, any vendor that hasn't adopted DDM will hit a technical wall, and their customers will face another migration. As of WWDC 2025, DDM covers all Apple device families, including Vision Pro and Apple TV.

One of the long-term benefits of mobile device management is choosing a vendor that keeps pace with Apple's framework changes, DDM adoption is now the clearest test of whether a vendor is doing that. Addigy claims DDM support alongside traditional MDM. Jamf supports DDM. Intune now uses DDM for macOS update management as of 2025. Verify current DDM status for every tool you shortlist.

Getting your MDM vendor to confirm their DDM roadmap in writing before you sign is often harder than the technical evaluation itself. Add it to your mobile device management best practices checklist for vendor evaluation, it's the kind of question that separates a two-year platform from one you'll migrate off again in 2027. The Six Colors Apple in the Enterprise 2025 Report Card flagged it directly: "The disconnect between Apple's rapid OS changes and the slower pace of MDM vendor support is a constant source of frustration."

How Trio MDM Helps Mixed-Fleet Organizations Move Past Addigy

If you're evaluating Addigy alternatives and managing a mixed fleet of Mac, iOS, and Windows devices, Addigy's Apple-only scope means you're either running two separate tools or leaving one OS family unmanaged. Trio MDM covers Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, and Linux from a single console, no secondary MDM required for the non-Apple side of the fleet.

The cross-platform coverage also removes the need for a future migration if your environment changes. If your organization hires staff who prefer Windows, acquires a team running Android, or adds a Linux server fleet, there's no second re-enrollment project. The platform grows with the fleet.

On pricing: Trio MDM Pro starts at $2.20/device/month on an annual contract, with no "contact for quote" guesswork at the core tiers. For a 100-device fleet, compare that against Addigy's documented $6–$8/device/month range. The gap is meaningful when you're working against a defined annual IT budget.

For compliance, Trio MDM supports CIS Level 1 and Level 2 with automated control testing and one-click remediation across all device types. If audit readiness is part of your management mandate, this is built into the platform, not an add-on.

Apple management is not an afterthought. ABM and ASM are both supported. Supervised mode is available for corporate iOS and iPadOS devices, and enrollment via Apple Configurator 2 is supported for devices outside ABM.

Practitioners on Reddit r/macsysadmin consistently recommend trialing any replacement MDM for 3–4 weeks before committing. Trio MDM's 14-day free trial gives you the starting point for that evaluation.

Start your free trial to run that test against your actual fleet.
