Fleet review
A flexible MDM and endpoint platform with a free tier and automation tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Fleet is an endpoint management platform for IT and security teams managing macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and ChromeOS. Its core coverage combines Apple MDM, automated zero-touch enrollment through Apple Business, device inventory, live reports, application deployment, disk-encryption enforcement, remote commands, scripts, remediation, vulnerability detection, and patching. Teams that prefer open-source software, APIs, command-line workflows, or self-hosting will find those options built into Fleet's positioning.
The pricing structure starts with Free at $0 per device per month, billed monthly. This tier includes basic features and no support. Premium costs $7 per device per month, billed monthly, and adds endpoint management, disk-encryption enforcement, application deployment, and professional support. Custom is intended for large deployments and uses a sales-led process. The plan structure makes Fleet accessible for initial evaluation or smaller requirements, while teams needing paid capabilities and support move to Premium.
Fleet also fits environments that need connections beyond a device console. Its REST API, webhooks, fleetctl CLI, GitOps, and infrastructure-as-code workflows support automation, while integrations include Okta, Snowflake, Tines, runZero, Active Directory, Ansible, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Chef. Organizations can run Fleet as managed cloud infrastructure or self-host it on their own servers or cloud environment. Choose Fleet for open, automatable management across Apple and other operating systems, especially when enrollment, software control, encryption, remediation, and patching belong in one platform. Teams that require support on the free tier should choose a paid plan instead.
