Kaseya gives you the broadest all-in-one suite in the channel. RMMmax gives you a focused automation layer with transparent pricing and zero lock-in — and it can ride on top of Kaseya, not replace it.
If you want one vendor for RMM + PSA + backup + docs and the bundle economics work for you, Kaseya’s breadth is hard to match. But if you’re wary of multi-year contracts, bundled lock-in, and usage-based billing surprises — and you just want AI automation, cross-OS patching, and CVE intelligence added on for a flat $50/mo — that’s exactly what RMMmax does, on top of Kaseya or on its own.
| RMMmax | Kaseya (VSA / Datto RMM) | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Public & flat — $0 / $50 / $150 per month | Quote-based bundles; historically peak-usage (“high-watermark”) billing, now moving to committed-minimum + consumption (2025) |
| Free tier | Yes — 10 agents free, forever | No — trials / demos |
| Contract & lock-in | Month-to-month, cancel anytime | Term contracts with committed minimums; reductions typically only at renewal |
| Works alongside your existing RMM | Yes — layers on Datto RMM/VSA, NinjaOne, etc. via API | No — it is the full platform/bundle |
| Standalone agent (Win/macOS/Linux) | Yes | Yes (VSA / Datto agents) |
| AI automation / MCP server | Yes — 47 AI functions via an MCP server | Emerging / add-on |
| CVE intelligence (NVD + CISA KEV) | Built-in, per-client reporting | Via add-on modules / integrations |
| All-in-one suite (RMM + PSA + backup + docs) | Automation layer or lean standalone — not a full suite | Yes — very broad integrated ecosystem (Kaseya 365) |
Keep Datto RMM / VSA for what it does well. Connect RMMmax via API for the AI automation layer, cross-OS patching, and CVE intelligence — a flat $50/mo, no contract, no migration.
It can run standalone, but most MSPs keep Datto RMM / VSA and add RMMmax as the automation layer via API. No rip-and-replace, no disruption to billing or ticketing.
Kaseya has historically used peak-usage (“high-watermark”) billing and is shifting to a committed-minimum + consumption model as of late 2025. Whatever the details on your contract, RMMmax stays simple: flat $0 / $50 / $150 tiers, month-to-month, cancel anytime.
Yes — RMMmax connects to Datto RMM / VSA (and NinjaOne, ConnectWise, Tactical RMM, ScreenConnect) by API, so your existing stack keeps working.
For the automation layer, dramatically — $50/mo covers up to 1,500 agents, transparently. It’s not a full-suite replacement; it’s a low-cost layer that adds capability without a new bundle.
Comparison reflects RMMmax’s view based on publicly available information as of June 2026.
