The ImmyBot alternative (and why you might run both)
Let’s start where most comparison pages won’t: ImmyBot is genuinely excellent, and RFF will not out-automate it. Their desired-state onboarding engine, the 1,900+ maintained scripts, the “make this machine look like this and keep it that way” model - that’s years of hard work and it shows. If your problem is onboarding and maintaining software state, ImmyBot solves it better than we do.
We built a different thing. RFF is the day-to-day Windows RMM: monitoring with alerts, patching, remote tools, self-healing checks, and readable Group Policy baselines. Where Immy answers “is this machine configured the way I decided?”, RFF answers “what is my fleet doing right now, and what broke?”
And the first 100 endpoints are free.

Pricing, plainly
| RFF | ImmyBot | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Free to 100 endpoints | $400/month base |
| Model | Per endpoint above free | Base + monthly maintenance slots |
| Slot/seat pricing published | Yes - all tiers | Base yes; per-slot tiers require contact |
| Trial | Free tier, no time limit | 14-day trial, no card |
ImmyBot pricing per immy.bot/pricing, July 2026: “Onboard unlimited computers for $400/mo,” plus tiered monthly maintenance slots whose per-slot rate isn’t published.
The number that decides it: ImmyBot’s floor is $400/month. That’s fair for what it does - unlimited onboarding is a real offer - but it means a 20-machine shop pays $400/mo to start. RFF’s first 100 endpoints are $0. Different buyers.
Feature comparison
| RFF | ImmyBot | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 100 endpoints | None (14-day trial) |
| Desired-state software automation | Basic (policies, workflows) | Best in class |
| Maintained script library | Curated check library | 1,900+ scripts |
| Monitoring + alerting | Yes - checks, alerts, self-healing | Limited |
| Patch management | Yes | Via automation |
| Remote tools (console, files, registry) | Yes, no screen takeover | Remote terminal |
| Readable GPO baselines + drift | Yes | No |
| Onboarding new machines (software state) | Basic | Best in class |
| Bare-metal OS provisioning | USB to domain-joined | Not its job |
| Maturity | Early | Established |
Where ImmyBot wins: onboarding, desired-state configuration, and the depth of that script library. It is the strongest tool in its category, and the gap is wide.
Where RFF wins: it’s an RMM. Monitoring, alerting, patching, and remote tools are the daily surface, plus Group Policy you can actually read and version. And a real free tier. One thing that has changed since this page was first written: RFF now does bare-metal imaging - a wiped machine to named, enrolled and domain-joined off one USB stick. That is a different job from ImmyBot’s software-state onboarding, not a replacement for it.
Questions people actually ask
Do these compete at all? Less than you’d think. Plenty of MSPs run ImmyBot for onboarding and something else for day-to-day monitoring. If that’s you, RFF is the something else - free for your first 100 endpoints, so trying it costs nothing.
Will RFF ever do desired-state like Immy? Not in the way they do. We’d rather be honest than ship a worse version of somebody’s flagship. Our automation is check-triggered workflows: something breaks, we fix it and tell you.
We can only afford one. If onboarding consistency is the pain, buy ImmyBot. If “I don’t know what my fleet is doing” is the pain, start with RFF free and see whether it covers you.
