Not every business is an all-Apple shop. If you have a mixed fleet — iPhones, Android phones, Windows laptops, maybe a few Macs — you need a cross-platform MDM. Jamf and Kandji won’t help you. Here are three cross-platform options compared on the dimensions that actually matter for small to mid-size businesses.

Hexnode — Hexnode (by Mitsogo) is one of the most complete cross-platform MDMs available. It supports iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, Fire OS, and Apple TV. Pricing starts at $1/device/month (Express tier) and goes up to $5.80/device/month (Ultimate) with annual billing and a 14-day free trial. Hexnode’s strength is breadth: kiosk mode, geofencing, remote troubleshooting, app management, content filtering, and compliance policies — all from one dashboard. It’s particularly strong for Android with support for Samsung Knox, Android Enterprise, and COPE/BYOD deployment models.

Mosyle — Mosyle is Apple-focused but has expanded to support Windows and Android in recent years. Its free tier (Fuse) supports up to 30 Apple devices — making it one of the few MDMs with a genuinely free option for small teams. The paid Business tier adds advanced features like automated patching, identity management, and enhanced security. Mosyle’s standout feature is its integrated approach: device management, identity, endpoint security, and app management all in one platform. For Apple-heavy environments that also have a few Windows machines, Mosyle hits a sweet spot.

ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus — Part of the Zoho/ManageEngine ecosystem, MDM Plus supports iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. Pricing starts around $1.28/device/month for the cloud version. ManageEngine’s advantage is integration with the broader ManageEngine IT suite — if you already use ServiceDesk Plus, Desktop Central, or other ManageEngine products, MDM Plus plugs in natively. It offers containerization for BYOD, app management, remote troubleshooting, and compliance reporting. The interface is functional but not as polished as Hexnode or Mosyle.

Ease of setup: Hexnode and Mosyle both offer guided setup wizards and same-day deployment for small fleets. ManageEngine has more configuration options upfront, which means more setup time but more flexibility. For a business owner without dedicated IT, Hexnode’s onboarding is the smoothest. For a team with some technical expertise, ManageEngine offers more granularity.

BYOD handling: All three support work profile separation on Android and managed containers on iOS. Hexnode’s containerization is the most mature for mixed-OS environments. Mosyle’s BYOD handling is excellent for Apple but less proven on Android. ManageEngine offers solid container-based management across all platforms with clear separation of personal and corporate data.

Pricing transparency: Hexnode publishes clear tiered pricing on their website. Mosyle has a free tier but paid pricing requires a sales conversation. ManageEngine publishes pricing but the feature matrix across tiers requires careful comparison. For budget predictability, Hexnode wins.

RichnTech verdict: For mixed-fleet businesses under 200 devices, Hexnode is the strongest all-around choice — broadest platform support, clearest pricing, and the most complete feature set at the mid-tier. Mosyle is ideal if you’re 80%+ Apple with a few Windows machines. ManageEngine fits best if you’re already in the ManageEngine/Zoho ecosystem and want everything under one vendor.
