Jamf Now Service Plans

Jamf Now offers two convenient service plans: Jamf Now (formerly the Standard plan) and Jamf Fundamentals (formerly the Plus plan).

Note:

Jamf Now does not currently have a public API.

Jamf Now
To provide a streamlined experience for Jamf Now customers, this plan was developed.
Jamf Now contains all basic mobile device management (MDM) functionality like device management, bulk app deployment, and security settings.
Note:

Jamf Now cannot configure VPN settings on deployed devices on the Jamf Now plan. You can configure these settings with the Custom Profiles feature on the Jamf Fundamentals plan.

The Jamf Now plan is free for the first three devices, and $2.00/device/month for additional devices. There is no feature difference other than the three-device limit for free Jamf Now accounts.

Jamf Fundamentals
To empower more advanced users with new ways to manage Apple devices in their organization, Jamf Fundamentals includes all the features of the Jamf Now plan along with the following additional features:

  • Deploy custom iPad and iPhone apps

  • Deploy custom Mac packages

  • Access to Composer, our packaging tool

  • Deploy custom configuration profiles

  • Mac Malware Prevention with Jamf Protect

  • Mac Password Sync with Jamf Connect

  • Deploy Mac App Store apps and custom apps with Jamf Self Service for macOS

  • Priority support escalation

Jamf Fundamentals is a powerful solution for organizations that rely on custom iPad and iPhone apps or need to deploy major Mac software titles that are not available in the App Store like Adobe Creative Suite or Google Chrome.

The Jamf Fundamentals plan is free for the first three devices, and $4.00/device/month for additional devices. There is no feature difference other than the three-device limit for free Jamf Now accounts.
