What it really is
A cloud-native patching and endpoint automation service using a lightweight agent.
Our take
Automox does the core job well: one cloud console that keeps Windows, Mac and Linux machines patched without on-site servers. It also does something rare in this category by publishing a price. Read the line under it, though. The $1 plan is OS patching only, and the features most teams compare it on, third-party apps, Worklets and the API, live on quote-only plans.
Why we rate it
Cross-OS cloud patching with a published entry price and a no-card trial.
The catch
The $1 plan excludes third-party patching, scripting and the API.
Best for
Remote and hybrid device fleets
Mixed Windows, macOS and Linux estates
MSPs managing several client organizations
Not good for
Buyers needing full RMM monitoring and alerting
Teams wanting every tier priced upfront
Organizations that need unlimited support tickets on the base tier
Friction report
Time to value
Short: start the 15-day trial and deploy the agent to endpoints.
Scale breakpoint
Third-party patching or scripting moves you to a custom-priced Automate plan.
Walled garden
Low to medium: REST API for integrations, with patching tied to the Automox agent.
