Our takeAutomox does the core job well: one cloud console that keeps Windows, Mac and Linux machines patched without on-site servers.

It also does something rare in this category by publishing a price. Read the line under it, though. The $1 plan is OS patching only, and the features most teams compare it on, third-party apps, Worklets and the API, live on quote-only plans.

Why we rate itCross-OS cloud patching with a published entry price and a no-card trial.

The catchThe $1 plan excludes third-party patching, scripting and the API.

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Short: start the 15-day trial and deploy the agent to endpoints.
Scale breakpoint
Third-party patching or scripting moves you to a custom-priced Automate plan.
Walled garden
Low to medium: REST API for integrations, with patching tied to the Automox agent.
