| Feature | Zonix EM | SOTI MobiControl |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing / billing model | From $5 to $10/device/month depending on plan, USD billing, minimum 8 devices — see /pricing | Not published — enterprise sales, quote-based |
| Supported platforms | Android (GA); Apple and Windows in Private Beta | Android and Windows with general availability; Apple and Linux/ChromeOS coverage is partial |
| Per-device app targeting | Per-app filter inside the policy itself: manufacturer, model, or minimum Android version, with options drawn from your actual fleet — e.g. Samsung OEMConfig only on Samsung devices, no policy duplication | Profiles targeted at device groups and rules — segmentation happens at the assigned-profile level, not as a per-app filter inside a single policy |
| Support & language | English-language support backed by a Brazil-based team | Global enterprise support; strong in rugged-fleet diagnostics (XSight) |
| Compliance | LGPD-first data handling; SOC 2 certification not yet completed (on the roadmap); Zonix EM Pulse (predictive fleet health and compliance analytics) from the Growth plan up | Specific certifications not covered in this research — confirm with the vendor |
| Free trial / freemium | 14 days free (Growth plan) or 30 days (Business plan), no credit card required | No public freemium tier — enterprise, quote-based sales process |
| Implementation time | Self-service via QR Code/Zero-Touch, migration without re-enrollment for fleets already on another MDM (Business+), or dedicated onboarding on Business+ plans | Enterprise consultative sales cycle; implementation timeline is quote-based |
| MSP / partner support | Native multi-tenant architecture with white-labeling, built for resellers and MSPs | Altitude Partner Program with six tracks (reseller, MSP, distributor, OEM, technology/ISV, platform), with tiered discounts and marketing development funds (MDF) |
Competitor pricing and features are estimates from public research, not confirmed directly with each vendor — prices may vary, so confirm with the vendor before deciding.
