SOTI
The SOTI ONE platform for rugged and frontline device fleets, in SOTI’s cloud or on your own servers— MobiControl for the devices, XSight for diagnostics, Snap for low-code apps and Connect for printers, and how each one is licensed. This hub covers four SOTI products.
Buy through TechBag
Same software. Better outcome — at a lower cost.
The company, at a glance
Quick answer
Four intel pages. Rugged and frontline device management, device diagnostics, low-code mobile apps and printer management.
SOTI’s line, licence by licence — every card is a full intel page, from MobiControl for rugged and mixed fleets to XSight diagnostics, Snap’s paper-to-app builder and Connect for printers.
SOTI MobiControl
Rugged, shared and mixed fleets in one console.
Android Enterprise, Apple, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS, with Zebra FOTA, Knox E-FOTA, Lockdown kiosks and shared-device sign-on.
SOTI XSight
Finds and fixes device faults before the ticket.
Runs with MobiControl: remote control, chat, ticketing, battery dashboards and Watchlist alerts; analytics are Android and Windows.
SOTI Snap
Turns paper forms into mobile apps and workflows.
Cross-platform apps that capture photos, video and barcodes, send data through automated workflows and design Lockdown screens.
SOTI Connect
Mobile and industrial printers, managed centrally.
Wireless, wired and Bluetooth printers: rules-based enrolment, firmware updates, dashboards, logs, certificate and password rules.
SOTI ONE Platform
Platform & engineThe umbrella name for SOTI’s suite, which SOTI says “maximizes the ROI of your business-critical mobile devices and printers”. It is the frame for this hub rather than a product of its own; its AWS Marketplace bundle price is covered here and on the MobiControl page
SOTI Identity
Platform & engineA login layer for SOTI’s own consoles: central sign-in, single sign-on into SOTI products, MFA by email code, Google Authenticator or Duo, and event logging. It is not a workforce identity provider, so it sits in no identity guide; SOTI Mobile SSO for shared devices is covered on the MobiControl page
SOTI Stella
Platform & engineSOTI’s AI assistant, labelled beta and integrated within MobiControl and XSight. It shipped in MobiControl 2026.0 in November 2025. It is a feature of those two products, not a licence of its own, so it is covered on their pages
SOTI Pulse
Platform & engineSOTI’s online community, with forums and a knowledge base, which also hosts the MobiControl release notes and product-lifecycle dates. It is not something a business buys, so it gets no page

Why “built for the warehouse floor” is the whole story
Most device-management tools start from office laptops and phones. SOTI started in 1995 with handhelds, and MobiControlpatches Zebra and Samsung firmware, locks scanners into kiosks and hands shared phones from shift to shift, in SOTI’s cloud or on your own servers. For fleets of rugged devices and printers, that depth is the reason to shortlist it.
SOTI ONE deployment
SOTI ONE supports two deployment types: a cloud service hosted on AWS and Azure under ISO/IEC 27001, or an on-prem install on your own servers.
Enrolment at scale
SOTI Stage, Apple Business Manager, Android Zero-Touch, Samsung KME, Windows Autopilot and Zebra StageNow, across COBO, COSU, COPE, CYOD and BYOD.
OEM firmware control
Zebra FOTA pushes Android OS and LifeGuard patches across a Zebra fleet, Knox E-FOTA does the same for Samsung, and 2026.0 added BIOS management.
XTreme Hub
SOTI’s XTreme technology for stores and warehouses on thin links, which SOTI says delivers data ten times faster; the Hub needs a Premium Plus or Enterprise Plus tier.
Start with the devices — scanners, phones, PCs or printers — then decide where the server runs and which service tier you need.

Where should you start with SOTI?
Answer three questions; we’ll point you at the right starting product. No email required — this isn’t that kind of quiz.
1. What problem is forcing the decision?
2. What runs the work today?
3. Who will own it?
Four products, one platform
MobiControl manages the devices; XSight, Snap and Connect add diagnostics, apps and printers. Most fleets start with MobiControl alone.
Read →MobiControl or MobiControl XS?
MobiControl XS is MobiControl and XSight sold together, not a third product. Add XSight when Android or Windows fleets need diagnostics.
Read →The bundle is not the MobiControl price
$119.88 a device a year on AWS buys MobiControl, XSight, Snap and service together. MobiControl on its own is quoted.
Read →Printers moved to Connect
Zebra printer management left MobiControl in February 2025, per SOTI partner notices. Mobile and industrial printers now need a Connect licence.
Read →India data means on-prem
SOTI’s cloud runs on AWS and Azure with no India region documented. For in-country device data, plan an on-prem MobiControl server.
Read →Where SOTI fits
The Endpoint Management category sets device management beside RMM, patching and remote access, so you can see which job SOTI covers.

Buy it like you’ve done this before
The procurement playbook TechBag runs with IT buyers — steps, licensing cheat-sheet, and the pitfalls that cost quarters.
Count devices by type
SOTI licenses per device, so tally scanners, phones, tablets, PCs and printers separately; printers belong to Connect, not MobiControl.
Choose cloud or on-prem
SOTI’s cloud runs on AWS and Azure with no India region documented. If device data must stay in India, price an on-prem server instead.
Pick the service tier
Premium Service covers deployments up to 1,000 devices and Enterprise Service 1,001 and above; XTreme Hub and SOTI VPN need a Plus tier.
Decide on XSight and Snap
The AWS bundle includes both at $119.88 a device a year. If the fleet needs neither, ask for MobiControl alone and compare the quotes.
Retire old versions
Perpetual licences reached end of sale in September 2024 and MobiControl 2024 reached end of life on 31 March 2026. Plan the move to 2026.x.
Get it priced in rupees
SOTI lists no INR price, and its only public figure is in USD on AWS. TechBag scopes devices, tier and deployment and quotes the total in INR with GST.
The licensing cheat-sheet
| Product | Licensing model | How you enter | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOTI ONE bundle | Per device, 12-month SaaS contract on AWS Marketplace · MobiControl, XSight, Snap and Premium or Enterprise Service | $119.88/device/yr | The full platform |
| SOTI MobiControl | Per device subscription, cloud or on-prem · Standard, Premium, Premium Plus, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus | Quote | Rugged and mixed fleets |
| SOTI XSight | Sold with MobiControl as MobiControl XS, and inside the SOTI ONE bundle · needs MobiControl | Quote | Device diagnostics |
| SOTI Snap | Its own licence line in the SOTI ONE bundle · no standalone price published | Quote | Paper-to-app workflows |
| SOTI Connect | Separate licence for printers · resellers list it per printer, cloud or on-prem | Quote | Printer fleets |
SOTI licenses per device by subscription, cloud or on-prem, in five service tiers, and publishes no price on soti.net. Its one list price is the SOTI ONE bundle on AWS Marketplace: $119.88 a device for 12 months (about $9.99 a month) for MobiControl, XSight, Snap and Premium or Enterprise Service. TechBag quotes the total in INR with GST.
Five pitfalls that cost buyers quarters
Reading the bundle as MobiControl’s price
The $119.88 AWS figure buys MobiControl, XSight, Snap and service together. MobiControl alone is quoted separately, so ask for both figures.
Expecting an India cloud region
SOTI documents no India region for its AWS and Azure cloud. If DPDP or a sector rule needs in-country data, run MobiControl on-prem.
Buying XSight for an iPhone fleet
XSight’s operational intelligence, alerting and live support cover Android and Windows. Apple-heavy fleets get little from the analytics.
Managing printers in MobiControl
Per SOTI partner notices, Zebra printer management left MobiControl on 1 February 2025. Budget a Connect licence for the printer fleet.
Staying on a retired version
MobiControl 2024 reached end of life on 31 March 2026 and v15 on 1 September 2025. SOTI still supports them only with an active contract.

Book a discovery call →The forces shaping this market
Four trends with momentum scores (TechBag’s read of analyst and market signals) — and what each means for your next decision.
Category momentum — estimated market growth
Illustrative CAGR synthesis**TechBag’s illustrative estimate, not a quoted analyst figure. The takeaway: frontline fleets want diagnostics, apps and printers handled by the same vendor as the devices — which is why SOTI sells XSight, Snap and Connect beside MobiControl.
Firmware as part of device management
MobiControl pushes Zebra FOTA and Knox E-FOTA patches, and the 2026.0 release added BIOS management for HP, Dell, Getac, Lenovo and Panasonic.
What it means for you
Ask each tool which OEM firmware it can update, not only which OS.
Shared devices with personal sign-on
SOTI lists Mobile SSO, Entra Shared Device Mode and Imprivata for shared phones and put out a shared-device security release in 2026.
What it means for you
Test shift handover sign-in on the real devices before you sign.
AI assistants in the admin console
SOTI Stella shipped in MobiControl 2026.0 and works across MobiControl and XSight, still labelled beta on SOTI’s own site.
What it means for you
Judge a beta assistant on today’s tasks, not the roadmap.
Apple declarative management
MobiControl added Apple DDM in 2024.1 and widened it in 2026.0 to OS-update enforcement at set local times on iOS, iPadOS and macOS.
What it means for you
Check DDM depth even in a mostly Android fleet.
