Iru (formerly Kandji) plans and prices
Kandji became Iru in October 2025, and the product grew from an Apple device manager into a platform with identity, EDR, vulnerability management and compliance modules. What did not change is the pricing model: no numbers on the website, just a quote based on products, users and devices.
This guide explains what drives that quote, what buyers report paying and how to negotiate without a price list.
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
Iru publishes no prices. Its pricing page says cost is based on the products you choose and the number of users and devices, so every deal is a sales quote, typically on an annual subscription. The quote moves with device count and mix (Mac versus iPhone and iPad), which modules you bundle on top of Endpoint Management, and contract length. Device growth mid-term is usually trued up against the contracted count.
The tier trap
The rebrand turned Kandji from one MDM product into a platform of modules, so the sales conversation now pushes EDR, Vulnerability Management and Identity alongside device management. Each module is quoted separately, and bundling them can quietly double the renewal.
Read this first. Kandji rebranded as Iru on 22 October 2025, and kandji.io/pricing now redirects to iru.com/pricing. Iru is quote-only, so this guide gives no list prices. Vendr also shows per-device ranges, but those are estimates and we left them out. The Endpoint Management feature line uses Kandji's known MDM capabilities, because Iru's page lists only product names. Renewal terms are not published.

How an Iru quote is built for 200 devices
There is no list price, so this table shows what changes a quote for a 200-device fleet.
| Scenario | Cost per year | Against the headline |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint Management only (200 devices) | Custom quote | Base quote |
| Add EDR and Vulnerability Management (200 devices) | Custom quote | Adds modules to the quote |
| Fleet grows mid-term and devices are trued up (200 devices plus growth) | Custom quote | True-up on added devices |

Which Iru (formerly Kandji) plan should you pick?
Endpoint Management
Pick it if you need Apple device management, which is what most former Kandji customers bought.
Endpoint Detection and Response
Pick it if you want EDR on Mac and Windows without running a separate security agent.
Vulnerability Management
Pick it if auditors keep flagging outdated software and you want patching automated.
Workforce Identity
Pick it if you want to consolidate SSO with device management and remove a separate identity vendor.
Our view
Iru's Endpoint Management is a strong Apple MDM, but with no public prices you only find out what it is worth by getting a quote. It suits Apple-heavy companies that want device, security and identity on one platform. If you only need MDM, cheaper published options exist.
You may be overpaying if
You accepted EDR or Identity bundles you do not use, your enrolled device count includes retired hardware, or you never priced Mosyle or Jamf against your renewal.
How to pay less for Iru (formerly Kandji)
Clean the device count first
Remove retired and lost devices from enrollment before the renewal quote is built, so you are not priced on dead hardware.
Unbundle what you do not use
Price Endpoint Management alone, then add EDR or Identity only if they replace a tool you already pay for.
Use the 14-day trial to set scope
Trial Endpoint Management, EDR and Vulnerability Management before signing, and buy only what earned its place.
Get a published-price comparison
Mosyle Business Premium lists at USD 1 per device per month with a 30-license minimum. That number is useful bargaining power in a quote-only negotiation.
Negotiate term and growth together
Ask for a fixed per-device rate for devices added mid-term and a cap on renewal increases in exchange for a longer term.
What other buyers report

Iru (formerly Kandji) alternatives and what they cost
If this vendor does not fit, these are the closest options and what they charge.
| Alternative | Starting price | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| Mosyle Business Premium | USD1 per device per month (annual, 30-license minimum) | You need Apple MDM with published pricing and no extra modules |
| JumpCloud Device Management | USD9 per user per month (annual) | You manage mixed Mac, Windows and Linux fleets and price per user |
| Jamf | Quote-based (14-day trial) | You want the most established Apple MDM and will negotiate anyway Read our Jamf pricing guide |
Keeping Iru (formerly Kandji) spend under control
Device management quotes reflect whatever was enrolled on the day the quote was built. Retired laptops and trial devices stay in the count unless someone removes them.
- 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. Iru is worth a look if you want Apple management, EDR and identity from one vendor, but buy the modules you will use and nothing else. Clean up enrollment and collect a Mosyle or Jamf quote 90 days before every renewal.
Iru (formerly Kandji) pricing questions
How much does Kandji cost per device?
Kandji, now Iru, does not publish a per-device price. Its pricing page says cost depends on the products you choose and the number of users and devices. Vendr reports a median annual contract of USD 18,888 across 476 purchases.
Is there a free version of Kandji or Iru?
No. There is no free plan, but Iru offers a 14-day free trial of Endpoint Management, Vulnerability Management, Endpoint Detection and Response and Workforce Identity. Compliance Automation and Trust Center are not included in the trial.
How much is Iru for enterprise fleets?
Iru quotes every deal, including large fleets. Price scales with device count, device mix and the modules you add. Vendr reports Kandji contracts ranging from USD 6,238 to USD 53,550 a year, so request itemized per-module pricing.
Can you get a discount on Iru?
Yes, through negotiation and not through published programs. Levers include a clean device count, dropping modules you do not use, a longer term in exchange for a renewal cap, and a competing quote from Mosyle or Jamf.
Is Iru cheaper billed annually?
Iru does not publish monthly or annual rates, and deals are generally annual subscriptions. Ask whether a multi-year term lowers the per-device rate, and make sure devices added mid-term are priced at the same rate.
What is the cheapest alternative to Kandji?
Mosyle Business Premium lists at USD 1 per device per month billed annually, with a 30-license minimum, and Mosyle offers a free plan for up to 30 devices. JumpCloud Device Management lists at USD 9 per user per month.
