Patch & RMM Tools
Patch management & RMM tools
Named patch management and remote monitoring & management (RMM) platforms — from Action1, the best-sourced pricing in this group with a real free tier, to lightweight patch-first tools and full RMM+PSA suites. Action1 gets a full pricing sheet below; six more vendors are shown as honest comparison cards.
Already using Brocent's bundled patch management?
If you want Brocent's own managed Patch Management service (a flat per-endpoint rate, delivered and managed end-to-end by Brocent), that's a different page — this one is for organizations that specifically want a named third-party platform like Action1 instead.
Self-manage patching, or evaluate a full RMM platform?
These seven vendors split into two genuinely different buying decisions — not seven interchangeable options for the same job.
Self-manage patching — lightweight, patch-first
Priced per device. The right fit if patching and vulnerability visibility are your main need, not a full ticketing/PSA platform.
Action1 · Automox · ManageEngine · PDQ
Full RMM platform — RMM + PSA suite
Priced per technician seat, unlimited devices — a different buying decision, typically for MSPs running their own ticketing and billing on top.
NinjaOne · Atera · Syncro
Sourcing & availability notice
Action1, Automox and PDQ figures are drawn from official published pricing. ManageEngine, NinjaOne and Atera figures are aggregator-triangulated estimates or ranges, each with an honest confidence level. Actual pricing, currency and packaging can vary by device/technician count, term length and partner program status. Always confirm exact pricing with Brocent before purchase; nothing on this page is a quote.
Action1
Action1 — the best-sourced pricing in this category, with a real free tier.

More vendors in this category
Comparison cards only — no dedicated pillar page yet. Confidence level shown per vendor; confirm exact figures with Brocent before quoting.
Automox
Patch OS — official published price, lightweight and patch-first.
$1 / device / month
The figure shown is for the Patch OS product specifically. Automox's broader Automate Essentials and Automate Enterprise tiers are custom-quoted, not published per-device. Automox runs a real, formal reseller/VAR/MSP/MSSP partner program, in place since 2020.
ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
Cloud pricing shown — the only vendor here with a genuine on-premises perpetual-license option too.
$1.28–2.38 / device / month
The range shown is an aggregator-assembled estimate for the cloud-hosted edition. Unlike every other vendor on this page, ManageEngine also offers a genuine on-premises, perpetual-license deployment option — worth asking about if your organization can't use a cloud-hosted patch console. Confirm current pricing directly with Brocent before quoting.
PDQ Connect / Deploy
Connect tier — real reseller program with partner discounts and MSP consumption billing.
$12–28 / device / year
The range shown is PDQ Connect's published per-device/year pricing, which steps down at higher device-count tiers. PDQ Deploy is a separate, related product for on-premises script-based deployment. PDQ runs a real reseller program with partner discounts and consumption-based billing for MSPs.
NinjaOne
Full RMM + PSA platform, not primarily a self-manage patching pick.
$1.5–3.75 / device / month
NinjaOne does not publish pricing — the range shown is an aggregator-assembled estimate. NinjaOne runs a real, tiered "Black Belt" partner program. Structurally this is a full RMM+PSA platform aimed at MSPs, not primarily a lightweight self-manage patching tool — see the guidance above for which buying decision this fits.
Atera
Per-technician pricing, unlimited devices — a genuinely different pricing model.
$139–209 / technician / month
Flagged clearly: Atera prices per technician seat with unlimited devices per seat, not per device — a genuinely different model from Action1/Automox/ManageEngine/PDQ above. No reseller/white-label-to-end-client program was found during research; this reads as a tool an MSP runs its own business on, not typically resold to end clients.
Syncro
Per-technician pricing, unlimited devices — same category as Atera/NinjaOne.
$129–179 / technician / month
Syncro's published tiers run per technician seat with unlimited devices per seat — the same "runs your MSP business" category as Atera and NinjaOne, not a per-device patch tool. No reseller/white-label-to-end-client program was found during research.
