Competitor comparison

ownMDM vs Mosyle

Mosyle is a solid cloud-based MDM — but it charges per device, keeps your data on their servers, and locks you into a proprietary platform. ownMDM gives you self-hosting, flat pricing, and full ownership of your data.

The key differences

Self-hosted vs SaaS cloud

Mosyle is a cloud-only SaaS — your device inventory, policies, and telemetry live on their servers. ownMDM runs on your own infrastructure. GDPR, compliance, and data residency requirements are trivially met.

Predictable flat-rate pricing

Mosyle bills $3 per device per month. A fleet of 200 Macs costs $600/mo and climbs every time you add devices. ownMDM Enterprise is $199/mo for up to 100 devices — your cost doesn't scale linearly with growth.

Open-source vs proprietary

ownMDM is powered by Munki — the battle-tested open-source Mac software management framework. No proprietary agent lock-in. Mosyle uses a closed delivery system you cannot inspect or extend.

True multi-tenant for MSPs

Both platforms support multiple tenants, but ownMDM is purpose-built for MSPs: full data isolation per tenant, per-tenant branding, independent software catalogs, and white-label client portals.
