Jamf plans and prices
Jamf is the Apple device management tool most IT teams know by name. It has moved from separate products to bundles: Jamf for Mac, Jamf for Mobile and Jamf Now for small businesses. It has not moved its prices onto its own site.
This guide uses 2026 third-party sources for the per-device numbers and Jamf's own pages for what each plan includes.
Prices below were recorded on 21 September 2026. The headline figure is the lowest price you can get for that plan. Check the official page before you buy, because vendors change prices without notice.

How billing works
Jamf no longer shows prices on its pricing page. It directs buyers to a Jamf representative or an authorized reseller. Third-party sources report per-device pricing billed annually with a 25-device minimum on Jamf for Mac and Jamf for Mobile, so a small office still pays for 25 devices. Both are available only on Jamf Cloud, and Premium Cloud hosting, premium support and implementation services are quoted separately.
The tier trap
Jamf Now stops making sense once you pass about 25 employees. The next step, Jamf for Mac, costs roughly three times as much per device and carries a 25-device minimum.
Read this first. Jamf's official page hides prices, so every per-device figure comes from SuperOps and CostBench 2026. We priced "Jamf for small business" as Jamf Now, which Jamf positions for organizations under 25 employees, so confirm the current product name. The claim that Jamf Now includes 3 free devices comes from SuperOps alone. Jamf Pro on its own is not published, and it is priced inside Jamf for Mac. Some Jamf Now feature cells are inferred from product pages.

What 100 managed Macs cost over a year
A hundred Macs is a mid-sized company fleet. Adding phones and the 25-device minimum change the total quickly.

| Jamf for Mac, billed annually (100 Macs) | USD15,000 | Headline price |
| 100 Macs plus 100 iPhones on Jamf for Mobile (200 devices) | USD21,900 | +USD 6,900 |

Which Jamf plan should you pick?
Jamf Now
Pick it if you have fewer than 25 employees and need simple Apple device management.
Jamf for Mobile
Pick it if your fleet is mostly iPhones and iPads.
Jamf for Mac
Pick it if you run a Mac fleet and want management, identity and security in one bundle.
Enterprise and Premium Cloud
Pick it if you manage thousands of devices or need custom hosting and premium support.
Our view
Jamf is still the reference tool for Apple-heavy companies, and the Jamf for Mac bundle is fair value if you would otherwise buy identity and endpoint security separately. Smaller or cost-sensitive fleets can get basic Apple device management for far less.
You may be overpaying if
You pay for Jamf for Mac but already run separate identity and endpoint security tools, you license retired devices, or your fleet is under 25 devices and billed at the minimum.
How to pay less for Jamf
Count devices before renewal
Remove retired and lost devices from inventory so they do not renew.
Buy the bundle you use
If Okta or CrowdStrike already cover identity and endpoint security, ask for a quote without Connect and Protect.
Go multi-year
Vendr reports 2 to 3 year Jamf agreements typically bring 10 to 20 percent lower annual pricing.
Get competing quotes
Mosyle and Iru (formerly Kandji) are credible Apple device management rivals, and Intune may already be in your Microsoft license.
Compare direct and reseller pricing
Jamf sells both directly and through authorized resellers. Ask both for a quote.
Ask for education pricing
Schools and universities have separate Jamf pricing. Ask for it if you qualify.
What other buyers report
Vendr reports a median Jamf annual contract value of USD 30,437, with deals ranging from USD 8,076 to USD 111,045 across 699 purchases. Source

Jamf alternatives and what they cost

| Alternative | Starting price | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| Mosyle | USD1 per device per month (Business Premium, annual, 30-license minimum), free up to 30 devices | You need solid Apple MDM on a tight budget |
| Microsoft Intune | USD8 per user per month (Plan 1, annual) | You run a mixed Windows and Mac fleet or already own Microsoft 365 E3 or Business Premium |
| Iru (formerly Kandji) | Quote only, annual contracts | You want Apple MDM and EDR from one vendor and will negotiate Read our Iru (formerly Kandji) pricing guide |
Keeping Jamf spend under control
Device management licenses follow inventory, and inventory is rarely clean. A laptop that was returned to a drawer two years ago still draws a license.
- Ask for the security documents up front. Request the security report, the data processing terms and the insurance certificate before you sign. See supplier onboarding.
- Score the vendor on risk, not only on price. A cheap tool with weak controls costs more after an incident. Use a vendor risk assessment template.
- Watch the renewal date. Security tools are often bought on multi-year terms. Put the notice date in a renewal tracker.
- Check the licence metric. Seats, devices and endpoints are counted differently by each vendor. Confirm which one you are paying for.
Bottom line. Jamf for Mac is a strong bundle for Apple-first companies, but only if you use the identity and security pieces you are paying for. Reconcile devices 90 days before renewal and walk in with a competing quote.
