Against the market as it stood in September 2026, the claim holds for a Microsoft shop paying for Intune separately and for no one else. ## What the claim needs, and what the prices show A 60% saving means the rival costs 2.5 times Codeproof; an 80% saving means five times. So the test is simple: divide each published entry price by Codeproof’s US$2. **Figure: Only Intune lists at the 2.5 to 5 times Codeproof’s price that a 60–80% saving needs** *Entry paid tier list price as a multiple of Codeproof Standard (US$2 a device a month, billed annually), September 2026* Microsoft Intune Plan 1 US$8 a user 4 × Jamf Now about US$4, Apple only 2 × 42Gears SureMDM Standard US$3.99 2 × LogMeIn Miradore Premium US$3.30 1.65 × Hexnode UEM Pro US$2.20 1.1 × Codeproof Standard MDM US$2.00 1 × Scalefusion Essentials US$2.00 1 × ManageEngine Endpoint Central Professional US$1.33, on-premise 0.67 × | | Value (×) | | --- | --- | | Microsoft Intune Plan 1 | 4 | | Jamf Now | 2 | | 42Gears SureMDM Standard | 2 | | LogMeIn Miradore Premium | 1.65 | | Hexnode UEM Pro | 1.1 | | Codeproof Standard MDM | 1 | | Scalefusion Essentials | 1 | | ManageEngine Endpoint Central Professional | 0.67 | Source: Codeproof pricing page; TechBag UEM & MDM guide price table; TechBag division · as of 30 September 2026 · Intune is priced per user; Jamf Now from a third-party listing TechBag countHow TechBag counted Six products in the guide’s per-device price table carry a number for their entry paid tier (Jamf Now’s from a third-party listing), and Intune’s comes from the guide’s product records; Seqrite, NinjaOne, miniOrange and Jamf Pro are quote-only and excluded. Each price is US$ per device per month on annual billing, as recorded on 22 August 2026, divided by Codeproof’s annual Standard price. Intune Plan 1 is US$8 per user; with two devices per user it falls to 2 times.[2] ## Where Codeproof does look cheap The better case is the top tier. Codeproof Enterprise UEM, with Android Enterprise, zero-touch enrolment, unlimited apps and GPS tracking, is US$48 a device a year, US$4 a month.[1] Hexnode’s Ultimate tier lists at US$4.70, 42Gears’ Premium at US$5.49 and Scalefusion’s Enterprise at US$6, so Codeproof is 15% to 33% cheaper at the top, a real saving but not the one claimed. ManageEngine’s on-premise UEM edition, at US$1.83, is cheaper still.[2] Note what Standard leaves out: kiosk lock-down and app deployment are capped at five apps, and Android Enterprise appears only on the Enterprise card. Codeproof publishes no minimum and offers a 14-day trial of Enterprise. Our [earlier note on five UEM price lists](https://www.thetechbag.com/blog/unified-endpoint-management-features-marketplace) covers the tiers of the others in more detail. **Buying it in India.** Codeproof is a Sunnyvale, California company and prices in US dollars;[4] 100 devices on annual Standard is US$2,400, about ₹1,99,200 at the guide’s indicative ₹83 to the dollar, plus 18% GST of ₹35,856, through a reseller. Neither its pricing nor its home page names a hosting region, while Scalefusion, 42Gears and ManageEngine in the same table are built in India and host here.[2] That matters because Enterprise collects employees’ GPS location, which is personal data: the DPDP Rules, notified on 13 November 2025, bring security-safeguard and retention duties into force on 13 May 2027,[5] and CERT-In’s Directions of 28 April 2022 require logs kept for 180 days within Indian jurisdiction.[6] Ask Codeproof in writing where device data sits before you sign. Codeproof has no page on TechBag and we hold no commercial arrangement with it. How we did this Figures as of 30 September 2026 Codeproof’s prices are from its undated public pricing page (Standard US$2.50 a month billed monthly, US$24 a year billed annually; Enterprise US$5 and US$48). Rival prices are the per-device table in TechBag’s UEM & MDM guide as committed on 30 September 2026, verified against vendor pages on 22 August 2026; ManageEngine’s per-device figure is its annual on-premise price per 50 endpoints divided by 600. Tiers are not feature-matched: the chart compares entry paid tiers, the text compares top tiers. We did not test Codeproof. Spotted an error?
