About Jamf Pro
Jamf Pro is Apple-only device management software that lets IT teams deploy, configure, secure, and patch Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV devices without user interaction. IT and security teams that exclusively or primarily manage Apple devices and want deep, Apple-native device management rather than a cross-platform UEM tool.
- Zero-touch deployment for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, including BYOD
- Smart Groups for dynamic device and user segmentation, with an AI Assistant to help navigate them
- Blueprints built on Declarative Device Management to configure settings, commands, app installs, and restrictions across devices
- Automated inventory collection of hardware, software, and security configuration details
- App lifecycle management and Self Service+, so end users can install apps and updates themselves
- Compliance benchmarks based on industry security baselines, plus remote security commands that don't require user interaction
- Integrations with Microsoft (Entra, Power BI, Security Copilot, Sentinel), Google (Workspace, Cloud Identity, Chrome Enterprise), Okta, and hundreds of tools via the Jamf Marketplace

Jamf for Mac
USD 12.50 / annual / per macOS device/month
Bundle price for Jamf Pro, Jamf Connect, and Jamf Protect together (not Jamf Pro alone), billed annually with a 25-device minimum. Every plan requires contacting sales to purchase -- there is no self-serve checkout.
Jamf for Mobile
USD 5.75 / annual / per mobile device/month
Bundle price for Jamf Pro, Jamf Connect, and Jamf Protect together (not Jamf Pro alone), billed annually with a 25-device minimum. Jamf markets this bundle as covering iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Android -- that cross-platform mobile coverage is attributed to the bundle, not confirmed as a capability of Jamf Pro on its own.
Enterprise: contact sales for custom pricing.
How to choose
Before switching to Jamf Pro, weigh it against its listed alternatives: ManageEngine Endpoint Central (IT teams managing a mixed fleet of Apple and non-Apple devices that want one cross-platform UEM console instead of an Apple-specific tool); NinjaOne (IT teams and MSPs that need Windows/macOS/Linux RMM alongside basic mobile device management, not Apple-specific depth). Compare each against the workflow you actually run today — integrations, customization, and the effort required to migrate your existing data usually matter more than headline features. Confirm it runs on the platforms you need (Web, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS) before switching.
If Jamf Pro's feature set above doesn't cover what you need, one of the alternatives compared here — ManageEngine Endpoint Central, NinjaOne — may be a closer fit.

Jamf doesn't publish a standalone Jamf Pro price. Its pricing page shows bundle pricing starting at $12.50/Mac device/month or $5.75/mobile device/month (billed annually, 25-device minimum) for packages that include Jamf Pro plus Jamf Connect and Jamf Protect, and every plan requires contacting sales to purchase.
