Atera is a great all-in-one for small MSPs with its per-technician pricing. RMMmax is an automation layer that works on top of any RMM (Atera included) — with AI built in, not as a paid add-on.
If you’re a small/solo MSP with a high endpoint-to-tech ratio, Atera’s per-technician, unlimited-endpoint pricing is hard to beat — and it’s transparent and contract-free, which we respect. RMMmax is different: a layer that adds AI automation, deeper cross-OS patching, and CVE intelligence — with AI included, not a $99/tech add-on — on top of Atera or standalone.
| RMMmax | Atera | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per-endpoint, flat — $0 / $50 / $150 per month | Per-technician (unlimited endpoints) — ~$149–$219 / tech / mo |
| Free tier | Yes — 10 agents free, forever | No — free trial only |
| Contract | Month-to-month | Month-to-month (also no annual lock-in) |
| Works alongside your existing RMM | Yes — layers on Atera & others via API | No — it is the RMM |
| AI automation / MCP server | Included — 47 AI functions via MCP | AI Copilot is a paid add-on (~$99/tech) |
| CVE intelligence (NVD + CISA KEV) | Built-in | Via features / integrations |
| Cross-OS patch depth + built-in PSA | Deep cross-OS patching; not a full PSA | Lighter third-party patch catalog; built-in light PSA |
Keep Atera and connect RMMmax via API for included AI automation, cross-OS patching, and CVE intelligence — flat $50/mo.
It depends on shape: Atera’s per-tech pricing wins at very high endpoint-to-tech ratios; RMMmax’s flat per-endpoint tiers are a low-cost add-on regardless. Many MSPs run both.
Yes — 47 AI functions via the MCP server are included on every plan, not a separate per-tech add-on.
Yes — it connects via API and adds the automation layer on top.
