Lunixar alternative: RMM pricing and feature comparison
Lunixar combines Windows and Linux RMM with per-technician or per-device pricing. Nizlo is a Windows-first RMM with unlimited endpoints on flat public plans. They are not equivalent products.
The honest short version
Lunixar has the stronger published scope for Linux, third-party application patching, vulnerability context, network discovery, and SNMP. Nizlo does not claim that breadth. Nizlo's narrower case is a Windows-first team whose fleet size makes unlimited-endpoint plans easier to budget than per-device growth.
Published pricing
Lunixar: $79/month per technician for Professional with 250 shared endpoints, or $0.75 per endpoint/month on the device plan. Lunixar also publishes annual options and add-on endpoint blocks.
Nizlo: $59/month Core, $79/month Scale, or $99/month Suite, with one technician and unlimited RMM endpoints included. Additional technicians are $15/month each.
Trial
Lunixar: 14 days, no credit card, full features, and up to five devices.
Nizlo: 14 days with no credit card or automatic charge. Scale trial access includes unlimited RMM endpoints.
Endpoint platforms
Lunixar: Windows and Linux. Linux includes inventory, monitoring, Bash, patching, and security posture, but not interactive remote desktop.
Nizlo: Windows and macOS agents are available. Nizlo remains Windows-first; Linux is a limited private preview and does not include Linux patching or remote desktop.
Patching and security context
Lunixar: Windows Update, third-party application patching through WinGet, Linux package updates, and vulnerability context using CVE, CISA KEV, and EPSS data.
Nizlo: Windows Update patching with approval, scheduling, reboot controls, and result evidence. Nizlo does not claim a broad third-party app catalog or vulnerability-management parity.
Remote access
Lunixar: Interactive remote access is available for Windows from a browser or app. Lunixar says Linux interactive remote desktop is not currently available.
Nizlo: Built-in remote workflows for supported endpoints. Validate consent, unattended access, roles, revocation, and retained evidence in the trial.
Network and service scope
Lunixar: Network discovery and SNMP sit alongside monitoring, automation, reports, patching, and vulnerability workflows.
Nizlo: Monitoring, alerts, patching, scripts, automation, reports, remote workflows, and a ticketing foundation. Nizlo does not claim SNMP or network-discovery parity.
Lunixar is the stronger fit when
Linux and broader technical depth lead
- Linux monitoring, Bash, and package patching are required now
- WinGet third-party patching or vulnerability prioritization matters
- network discovery and SNMP belong in the RMM decision
- a five-device full-feature trial is enough to validate the workflow
Nizlo may be worth testing when
Windows-first endpoint economics lead
- a one-technician team manages more than 250 RMM endpoints
- flat public pricing is preferable to per-device growth
- the current fleet is Windows-first and does not require SNMP or Linux patching
- unlimited trial endpoints make a wider authorized pilot practical
Compare fleet economics at the same scope.
At one technician and 250 endpoints, Lunixar Professional and Nizlo Scale both publish a $79 monthly starting point. The model diverges as endpoints or technicians grow. Include every retained Linux, network, security, PSA, backup, and documentation tool; flat RMM pricing alone does not establish a lower total cost.
