MDM pricing models explained

By the SkieOS team · Updated 11 November 2026 · 4 min read

In short

Most MDM is priced per device per year, sometimes with tiers, setup fees or paid support. Compare what a seat includes, what happens when devices are replaced, and what support is included before comparing numbers.

Common models

  • Per device per year: a seat covers one device
  • Tiered: lower per-device price at higher volumes
  • Setup or onboarding fees, sometimes waived at volume
  • Support plans: included, or sold separately
