Your Macs run an MDM, an antivirus, a filter and a login tool. That is four renewals for one fleet — Mosyle Fuse puts Apple MDM, Mac antivirus, encrypted-DNS web filtering and Mac sign-on in one licence, at $3 a Mac and $1.50 an iPhone or iPad a month, for Apple-only fleets.

This page covers Mosyle Fuse — Mosyle’s all-in-one Apple licence for businesses. The rest:
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
One licence that manages Apple devices and also protects, filters and signs in the people using them.
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | An MDM plus three point tools | Mosyle Fuse |
|---|---|---|
| Tools to buy | An MDM, a Mac antivirus, a web filter and a login tool | One Fuse licence per device |
| Third-party Mac apps | Packaged and patched by hand | Installed and patched from the App Catalog |
| Mac passwords | Local accounts that drift from the cloud one | Auth 2 syncs the login with the identity provider |
| Admin rights | Granted once and never taken back | Admin On-Demand, for a limited time |
| Risky websites | Left to the browser | Blocked at DNS by category and domain age |
| What it is NOT | — | An EDR, a Windows tool, or hosted in India |
The cheapest test is a pilot group: move ten Macs to Fuse, switch on Auth 2 and the DNS filter, and see which point tools you can drop.
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
The same engine as Business PREMIUM: zero-touch enrolment through Apple Business Manager, profiles, User Enrollment, Shared iPad and declarative OS-update deadlines.
Antivirus, AI-based zero trust, Admin On-Demand and the Auth 2 login all live on the Mac; iPhones and iPads take hardening profiles and the DNS filter instead.
An encrypted-DNS filter on macOS, iOS and iPadOS checks each lookup against 100+ categories, malicious domains, domain age and the country hosting the site.
A single web console for every layer, hosted by Mosyle; all customer data is stored in the United States within Azure, and there is no on-premises edition.
One Apple MDM engine and a Mac agent — antivirus, sign-on and an encrypted DNS filter, all run from Mosyle’s US cloud.
Mosyle Fuse is the bundle edition of Mosyle’s Apple MDM — management, Mac security, filtering and sign-on under one licence.
Devices assigned in Apple Business Manager enrol at first boot, and Mosyle’s Auto MDM Migration tool pulls in devices from another MDM.
The macOS App Catalog installs and patches apps that are not in the App Store, and PKG or DMG files can be hosted securely.
Set a maximum delay, say 5 days, and a time of day; at that deadline the Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Watch updates itself.
A fully automated next-generation antivirus built for macOS, alongside AI-based zero trust that decides what is allowed to run.
Automated hardening and compliance for macOS, iOS and iPadOS, with CIS, NIS, SOC 2 and PCI mappings on Mosyle’s security page.
Encrypted-DNS filtering across 100+ categories blocks malicious domains, enforces SafeSearch and covers Chrome and Firefox.
Users sign in to the Mac with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Okta or AD credentials; the local account and FileVault follow.
Standard users ask for temporary admin rights on their Mac instead of holding them all year, which removes a standing risk.
Fuse acts as a Microsoft Intune device-compliance partner and supports Okta Device Trust, so apps can refuse unmanaged devices.
Here’s what genuinely sets it apart — and exactly where it stops.
Mosyle sells its antivirus, DNS filter, Mac sign-on and macOS App Catalog only inside Fuse, on the same per-device licence as the MDM. A Mac-heavy company that would otherwise buy four separate tools gets one console and one renewal.
Mosyle prints the rate: $3 a Mac and $1.50 an iPhone, iPad or Vision Pro a month, billed annually, 30 licences minimum. watchOS is managed at no extra charge, and teams leaving another Apple-only tool can trial it free for up to six months.
Mosyle Auth 2 creates the Mac account from your identity provider, turns on FileVault and keeps the password in step with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Okta or AD, with MFA. Admin On-Demand replaces standing admin rights with short-lived ones.
Fuse manages Apple devices only: no Windows, no Android. The antivirus, zero trust and sign-on layers are macOS-only, and it is not an EDR or a managed detection service. Data is kept in the US on Azure, with no India office, partner or rupee price.
Split the fleet into Macs at $3 and iOS devices at $1.50, then check whether PREMIUM at $1 would cover what you need.
If you are leaving another Apple-only tool, ask for the six-month extended trial and the first-year Migration Incentive Credit.
Point a pilot group in Apple Business Manager to Mosyle, enrol them, and switch on Auth 2 with your identity provider.
Turn on the DNS filter by category, the Mac antivirus and Admin On-Demand, and record which apps the zero trust layer stops.
Remove the old Mac antivirus, filter and login agent at renewal, and set OS-update deadlines across the whole fleet.
Modelled on Gartner Peer Insights structure. *Counts and breakdowns are illustrative pending verified review collection.
“We dropped a separate Mac antivirus and a DNS filter at renewal. Fuse priced out lower than the two of them together.”
“Auth 2 ended the password mismatch tickets. New hires log in to their MacBook with their Google account on day one.”
“The App Catalog keeps our browsers and chat apps patched on every Mac without a single packaging script from us.”
“Admin On-Demand let us remove standing admin rights from 140 developers without a revolt. Requests take seconds.”
“Our auditors wanted the SOC 2 report and data location. Both came via a ticket, but everything sits in the US.”
“Great value for the Macs, but our Windows laptops still need another tool, so we run two consoles anyway.”
Analyst firms bury this view behind paywalls, and G2 retired its Grid. So here’s TechBag’s synthesis of the Apple management and security market — tap any vendor to see why it sits where it does.
Execution strength vs product vision — the classic market map, minus the paywall.
$3 a Mac and $1.50 an iOS device a month; 30-licence minimum.
The grid nobody publishes — how many operating systems the product manages vs how much Apple security, filtering and identity comes in the box.
Apple only; MDM, Mac AV, DNS filter, Mac login and App Catalog in one licence.

Mosyle Fuse is one of 28 UEM & MDM products TechBag carries. The UEM & MDM guide narrows them to a shortlist and shows the reasoning. →
Drag the sliders (Apple devices under management; IT-hour cost). Estimates model admin time spent running a separate MDM, Mac antivirus, web filter and login tool at an assumed 1.5 hours per device a year, with 70% of it removed by one bundled console. Both figures are assumptions. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models your actual environment and modules.
Published: Fuse costs $3.00 a month for each Mac and $1.50 for each iPhone, iPad or Vision Pro, in USD, billed annually with a 30-licence minimum — so 30 Macs come to $1,080 a year by our arithmetic. watchOS is managed at no extra charge and each paid licence covers one Apple TV. Switchers from another Apple-only tool can ask for a six-month extended trial and a first-year migration credit. TechBag splits the Mac and iOS count, then quotes in INR with GST.

Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
Is every device a Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Watch or Vision Pro? Fuse cannot manage Windows or Android at all.
How many Macs at $3 and iOS devices at $1.50? Do you reach the 30-licence minimum, and is PREMIUM enough for some?
Is Mac antivirus with zero trust enough, or does your security team require an EDR with an investigation console?
Does your directory sit in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Okta or AD, so Auth 2 can create and sync Mac accounts?
Which of the 100+ categories will you block, and do Chrome and Firefox users need enforcement on managed Macs?
Can your policies accept device data stored in the US on Azure, with no India or EU region on offer?
Are your devices in Apple Business Manager, and will you qualify for the extended trial and the first-year credit?
Will a SOC 2 Type II report, requested by ticket, satisfy your auditors without ISO 27001 or a written uptime SLA?
Count your Macs and iOS devices first, or let a TechBag advisor work out the licence split, the switcher terms and a pilot group in Apple Business Manager.
