Automox is a cloud-native patch and endpoint management platform from Automox Inc. for IT and security teams, including MSPs, managing Windows, macOS and Linux devices. It patches operating systems and more than 600 third-party applications, and uses Worklets, a library of over 400 pre-built automation scripts, to enforce configuration and security baselines and to mitigate vulnerabilities that cannot be patched outright. The platform runs entirely through the cloud with no VPN or on-premises server required, and is managed from a web console, a REST API with full feature coverage, or an AI-assisted MCP server.
Automox publishes pricing for its entry tier only: Patch OS starts at $1 per endpoint per month with an annual commitment, or can be billed monthly with no commitment (checked September 2026). Two higher tiers, Automate Essentials and Automate Enterprise, add third-party patching, software deployment, automation policies, device configuration, additional Worklets, immediate remediation with FixNow, multi-organisation management and core remote control, but both are quote-only, with volume discounts for 200 or more devices or multi-year contracts. A free trial gives access to the full platform; there is no permanently free version. Remote access beyond the built-in core control on the Enterprise tier is sold separately as Automox Resolve, powered by Splashtop.
Automox integrates through published APIs with security and IT operations tools including Tenable, Rapid7, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and Splunk, with ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow, Zendesk and Freshworks, and with Microsoft Intune and Jamf for organisations that already manage devices through an existing MDM. Automox is based in Boulder, Colorado, and was founded in 2015. An MSP evaluating Automox should confirm during a trial whether third-party patching and automation on the tier it can afford cover its client base, since the published $1 headline price applies only to the base OS-patching tier, and check whether Automox's own remote control or a separate tool such as Automox Resolve fits how technicians actually work.
Automox is worth a look for MSPs that want dedicated patch management for Windows, macOS and Linux without buying a full RMM agent, particularly where monitoring and remote access are already covered by other tools. The published $1 per endpoint per month entry price is genuinely cheap for OS patching alone, but third-party patching, automation policies and remote control sit behind the quote-only Automate Essentials and Automate Enterprise tiers, so the real cost for most MSPs will be higher than the headline figure. Compare it against Action1, which also publishes patch-focused pricing, and PDQ Deploy & Inventory, and use the trial to check whether Automox's own remote control or the separate Resolve add-on suits how your technicians work.

Automox is priced per endpoint per month rather than per technician. Its entry tier, Patch OS, is published at $1 per endpoint per month with an annual commitment, or with monthly billing at no commitment (checked September 2026). The higher Automate Essentials and Automate Enterprise tiers, which add third-party patching, automation policies and remote control, are quote-only, with volume discounts for 200 or more devices.
Automox includes core remote control on its Automate Enterprise tier, and a separate add-on called Automox Resolve, powered by Splashtop, provides fuller remote access. MSPs that already use a dedicated remote access tool such as ScreenConnect or Splashtop directly should check on a trial whether Automox's built-in control is enough or whether the Resolve add-on is needed.
No, Automox manages Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints rather than mobile devices. Its Canopy feature integrates with an existing MDM such as Jamf Pro or Microsoft Intune to extend Automox patching to devices those tools already manage, including Apple Silicon Macs, rather than replacing the MDM or adding mobile device management itself.
Automox integrates through published APIs with security and IT operations tools including Tenable, Rapid7, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and Splunk, and with ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow, Zendesk and Freshworks. It also connects to Microsoft Intune and Jamf for organisations that already manage devices through an MDM. Automox's documented partner list leans toward security and ITSM tools rather than MSP-specific PSAs, so an MSP should confirm its own PSA or ticketing tool is supported before switching.
Yes, Automox offers a free trial that gives access to the full platform rather than a limited demo. There is no permanently free version, so ongoing use after the trial requires a paid plan starting at the published $1 per endpoint per month Patch OS tier.
