Level vs Syncro: which fits your MSP?

Level focuses on per-device RMM with technicians included. Syncro combines technician-priced RMM, PSA, and billing with unlimited endpoints. Model both operating systems before choosing.

The decision in one paragraph

Shortlist Level when a focused RMM, browser-native technician tools, cross-platform patching, event-driven automation, and endpoint pricing lead. Shortlist Syncro when one technician-priced suite should carry an endpoint event through ticketing, contracts, invoicing, and payment. Test the same devices and complete workflow.

AreaLevelSyncro

Pricing model

Level: Per managed device with technicians included. The first 10 devices remain free; after adding device 11, Level charges $2/device/month for the total device count.

Syncro: Per technician with unlimited managed endpoints. Core is $129/user/month annually or $159 monthly; Team is $179/user/month annually or $209 monthly.

Evaluation path

Level: The first 10 devices can remain free without a time limit. That supports an ongoing small-fleet evaluation, but adding an 11th device moves the full fleet to paid per-device billing.

Syncro: A 14-day trial is offered without a credit card. Syncro says the trial provides full platform access without feature limitations.

Product scope

Level: A focused RMM for monitoring, alerts, scripting, event-driven automation, patching, software, browser remote control, terminal, files, processes, services, API, and webhooks. Level intentionally does not include ticketing or a PSA.

Syncro: An all-in-one RMM and PSA platform with monitoring, alerts, scripts, patching, remote access, tickets, time, contracts, estimates, recurring invoices, payments, customers, and accounting integrations.

Platform and patching

Level: Browser-based management and operating-system patching cover documented Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. Third-party Windows apps and platform-specific approval or delay behavior should be tested.

Syncro: Windows, macOS, and Linux agents are documented with capability differences by operating system. Policy-based patching and scripting should be tested on every platform in scope.

Automation and remote work

Level: Events, monitors, tags, group changes, schedules, and API events can start multi-step automations. Browser remote control and background tools avoid a separate technician viewer for supported workflows.

Syncro: Policies, alerts, schedules, scripts, automated remediation, tickets, and PSA workflows connect endpoint work to service delivery. Remote access is included; confirm platform-specific tooling in the pilot.

Operating model

Level: A dedicated RMM with public endpoint pricing and no paid technician seats; PSA, billing, documentation, and surrounding business systems remain separate or integrated.

Syncro: A bundled MSP suite with public technician pricing and unlimited endpoints; the value depends on actually using the included PSA and billing workflows.

Level is the stronger shortlist when

Focused RMM depth and device pricing lead

the first 10 devices can cover a meaningful ongoing evaluation
every technician needs access without another paid RMM seat
browser remote and event-driven automations fit daily work
PSA, billing, and documentation already live elsewhere

Syncro is the stronger shortlist when

One MSP suite should connect endpoint work to billing

per-technician pricing is favorable at the real fleet size
RMM, tickets, contracts, invoices, payments, and time need one system
unlimited endpoints reduce sensitivity to fleet growth
a 14-day full-platform trial is sufficient for evaluation

Run the same eight-test pilot

Use authorized lab or noncritical systems first. Record expected results, technician time, price thresholds, retained tools, and every integration or migration cost.

Test 1Model current, expected, and peak annual cost at the same endpoints and technicians, including the Level 10-to-11-device threshold and the required Syncro tier.

Test 2Enroll the same authorized Windows, macOS, and Linux devices; reconcile identity, inventory, customer assignment, policy inheritance, and platform gaps.

Test 3Trigger identical reversible conditions; compare alert delay, routing, deduplication, recovery, ticket creation, and technician effort.

Test 4Run one controlled OS and third-party patch cycle; compare approvals, maintenance windows, restart control, evidence, and failure recovery.

Test 5Deploy and remove the same application, then run one harmless script; compare triggers, targeting, live output, execution context, and history.

Test 6Open the same authorized remote session; compare browser or viewer setup, roles, consent, revocation, file and background tools, and audit evidence.

Test 7Complete an alert-to-ticket-to-invoice workflow; record every integration, retained tool, duplicate record, and manual billing step.

Test 8Export representative data, disable a technician, revoke device identity, remove an agent, and document rollback before approval.

Level vs Nizlo Syncro vs Nizlo

A narrower third option

Nizlo is for a different pilot scope

Nizlo is an earlier-stage Windows-first RMM, not a claim of Level or Syncro parity. It may suit a controlled third test when cross-platform patching, PSA, billing, and surrounding systems already live elsewhere, while public flat pricing matters.

Windows-first founding pilot

Evaluate Nizlo for 14 days without a credit card.

Founding Tester discounts are awarded by successful paid upgrade order: the first five receive 75% off for life, the next five 50%, and the next ten 25%. Applying or starting a trial does not reserve a position.

Frequently asked questions

Is Level or Syncro cheaper?

Level charges per device after the first 10 free devices, while Syncro charges per technician and includes unlimited endpoints. The cheaper result changes with fleet size, technician count, PSA usage, retained tools, migration, and support. Model current and peak counts rather than comparing only the entry price.

Can I evaluate Level and Syncro before buying?

Level keeps the first 10 devices free without a time limit, while Syncro offers a 14-day no-card trial with full platform access. Use the same authorized endpoints and acceptance tests, and document what happens to data, agents, and access when the evaluation ends.

What is the main difference between Level and Syncro?

Level is a focused per-device RMM and intentionally leaves PSA and ticketing to other systems. Syncro bundles RMM, PSA, billing, and customer workflows in a per-technician suite with unlimited endpoints. Choose the operating model before comparing feature counts.

Where does Nizlo fit in this comparison?

Nizlo publishes this comparison and is not affiliated with Level or Syncro. Nizlo is an earlier-stage Windows-first RMM and does not claim parity with Level's cross-platform RMM depth or Syncro's mature PSA and billing. It is a narrower third pilot for teams that want public flat pricing.
