Comparison
Optanik vs NinjaOne
An honest comparison of Optanik and NinjaOne for endpoint management: how each is priced, what each includes, and which teams each one suits. Prices checked November 9, 2026.
Optanik and NinjaOne are both endpoint management (RMM) platforms that price per device, not per technician. The biggest differences are how you buy them and how wide the product line is: NinjaOne is a mature platform with a large set of add-on modules, sold through a quote; Optanik publishes one price and bundles a help desk, password vault and meetings for the account owner.
Pricing at a glance

|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per endpoint | Per device |
| Published price | $2.00 per endpoint per month; $1.75 from 5,001; $1.50 from 10,000 | Quote-based. NinjaOne's FAQ says pricing "starts as low as $1.50 USD per month at 10,000 endpoints, increasing to $3.75 USD at 50 or fewer endpoints" |
| Technicians | Free, unlimited | Not billed per technician |
| Free option | Free forever on 1 endpoint (12 hours of remote use a day) | 14-day free trial |

For a 50-endpoint fleet, Optanik's list price is $100 a month. NinjaOne's own FAQ puts small fleets at up to $3.75 per endpoint, which would be about $187.50 a month at 50 endpoints, before any modules, discounts or promotions your quote includes.

Where NinjaOne is the stronger choice
- You need MDM or backup in the same vendor. NinjaOne sells mobile device management, backup and documentation modules; Optanik does not offer those.
- You want a long track record. NinjaOne is an established platform with a large customer base and a big integration catalog.
- You buy through procurement. A quoted, negotiated contract can suit larger organizations.
Where Optanik is the stronger choice
- You want a price you can see before you talk to anyone. $2 per endpoint, published, with volume steps at 5,001 and 10,000.
- Small fleets. The free endpoint, no minimum and monthly billing make Optanik easy to start with a handful of machines.
- One login for the rest of IT. With one paid endpoint, the account owner also gets a help desk seat, a password vault seat and a meetings seat at no charge.
- Network and identity. The Optanik Network overlay, device isolation and a hosted Optanik Domain with DNS and Domain Users are part of the product.
The bottom line
If you need MDM, backup and documentation from one vendor and you're comfortable with a quote, NinjaOne covers more ground. If you want straightforward per-endpoint pricing, free technicians, and remote control, patching, software, automation, networking and a help desk in one place, try Optanik free on one machine.
