MDM tools were built to control devices. monmonmon was built to monitor them. Without the overhead, the privacy overreach, or the enterprise price tag.
Jamf, Microsoft Intune, and Kandji are powerful tools. They're also built for IT departments, not founders. They require enrollment profiles, admin privileges, and often a dedicated person just to run them. If all you need is visibility into your device fleet for compliance or security hygiene, you're paying for a lot of control you'll never use.

Jamf starts at €4 per device. Intune at €8 per user. Kandji won't even show you a price. monmonmon is €1 flat, whether you have 5 devices or 500.
Jamf is the gold standard for Apple device management. If you're a 500-person company with a dedicated IT team and a fleet of MacBooks, it earns its cost.
But Jamf requires a minimum device count, a proper onboarding process, and someone who knows what they're doing to configure it. For smaller teams using it purely to satisfy an ISO 27001 auditor, it's a sledgehammer for a finishing nail.
Intune makes sense if you're already deep in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and managing Windows devices at scale. The moment you step outside that world (mixed platforms, small team, no Azure AD) it gets complex fast.
The standalone price is €8/user/month before add-ons, and it pushes you toward Microsoft lock-in at every turn.
Kandji built a genuinely good Apple MDM experience: clean UI, fast setup, solid automation. But it rebranded to Iru in late 2025 and is repositioning as a full security platform for enterprises.
Custom pricing, enterprise contracts, and a product direction aimed at much bigger fish. Not built for a 20-person SaaS team that just needs to show an auditor their devices are patched.
monmonmon doesn't manage your devices. It monitors them. No enrollment profiles. No remote wipe capability. No admin access to employee machines.
Just a lightweight agent that tells you what you need to know: is this device encrypted, patched, and compliant?
That's the right answer for most B2B SaaS companies working toward ISO 27001 or SOC 2. You don't need control. You need evidence.
€1/device/month. No minimums.
