Short version: it’s usually not either/or. NinjaOne is a strong, mature RMM. RMMmax is the AI automation layer that rides on top of it — or stands alone.
If you want a complete, mature all-in-one RMM with deep remote control and a huge integration catalog, NinjaOne is excellent. If you already have an RMM (even NinjaOne) and want AI automation, cross-OS patching, and CVE intelligence added on for $50/mo — not a second platform migration — RMMmax is built for exactly that. Many MSPs run both.
| RMMmax | NinjaOne | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Public & transparent — $0 / $50 / $150 per month | Quote-based; commonly reported ~$3–5 / endpoint / mo |
| Free tier | Yes — 10 agents free, forever, no card | No — free trial only |
| Contract | Month-to-month, cancel anytime | Typically annual commitment |
| Works alongside your existing RMM | Yes — layers on NinjaOne, Kaseya, Datto, etc. via API | No — it is the full RMM platform |
| Standalone agent (Win/macOS/Linux) | Yes | Yes |
| AI automation / MCP server | Yes — 47 AI functions via an MCP server | Emerging / limited |
| CVE intelligence (NVD + CISA KEV) | Built-in, per-client reporting | Via vulnerability features / integrations |
| Full RMM suite (remote control, alerting, 300+ integrations) | Automation layer or lean standalone — not a full PSA/remote-control suite | Yes — mature, deep catalog, strong support org |
Keep NinjaOne for core RMM and remote control. Connect RMMmax via API for the AI automation layer, cross-OS patching, and CVE intelligence — for $50/mo, not another migration.
It can run standalone, but most MSPs keep NinjaOne and add RMMmax as the automation layer through NinjaOne’s API. No rip-and-replace required.
Yes — that’s the design. RMMmax connects to NinjaOne (and Kaseya, Datto, ConnectWise, Tactical RMM, ScreenConnect) by API, so your existing setup keeps working.
For the automation layer, dramatically — $50/mo covers up to 1,500 agents vs. per-endpoint pricing. It’s not a like-for-like full-RMM swap; it’s a low-cost layer that adds capability to what you already pay for.
RMMmax focuses on automation, patching, CVE intelligence, and diagnostics — not a full PSA or remote-control suite. Pair it with your RMM (or ours standalone) for those.
