Bottom line

Pricing is quote-based with volume tiers and no minimum quantity.
Frequently asked questions
How is SureMDM licensed and priced?
42Gears publishes plan structure rather than list prices: SureMDM is quoted per device with volume pricing, no minimum quantity and no hidden costs, and 24/7 support is listed across the plans. Companion products such as SureLock, SureFox and SureVideo, and the SureMDM Hub console for MSPs, are quoted separately. Expect a sales-assisted evaluation and demo before firm numbers, and budget for a device-count-based annual subscription rather than seats.
Which platforms and device types does SureMDM cover?
Android, iOS/iPadOS, Windows, Linux, Wear OS, ChromeOS, macOS and VR headsets are named as supported platforms, covering corporate-owned, shared/frontline, rugged and BYOD devices. Use cases include mobile device management, rugged device management, VR fleets and IoT devices such as printers and RFID readers from a single console.
How fast can we reach first production value?
42Gears markets faster deployment and cloud-hosted management, and customers report building deployments shortly after a demo. A two-to-four week first deployment is realistic for a cloud tenant with a pilot group of devices. On-premise is heavier: one customer review notes the on-premise installation was a bit of a challenge, so budget more time and vendor assistance if you must self-host.
Does SureMDM support Zero Trust access for shared frontline devices?
Yes. 42Gears positions SureIdP for identity and access management, SureAccess for network and device access control, and SureDefense for endpoint protection. It explicitly targets one-device-many-hands shift patterns where password plus MFA is impractical, using a micro-tunnel approach to grant application-level access rather than full corporate network access.
What integrations exist with our existing stack?
The integrations page documents Microsoft 365 (email profiles, app deployment, MEM/DLP), SIEM platforms such as Splunk, Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass for network access control, Intel AMT for out-of-band management and Zebra LifeGuard for over-the-air updates. No native Salesforce, Snowflake or HRIS integrations are published, so plan API-level work if those matter.
What certifications and compliance coverage does SureMDM claim?
The pages reviewed reference a certifications section and partner validations - Android Enterprise Recommended, Android Enterprise Gold Partner, Samsung Knox Validation Program and Zebra's enterprise testing - but do not enumerate SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or FedRAMP publicly, and the privacy notice is the only compliance-oriented page available.
