The Level.io alternative for Windows-first teams

Let’s be straight: Level is good, and it’s priced honestly. Flat $2 per endpoint per month, published on the site, no sales call to find out. It’s automation-first with genuinely strong scripting, a fast modern UI, SOC 2, and it treats macOS and Linux as first-class rather than an afterthought. If your fleet is mixed, Level is a serious pick and we’d say so.

Two things are different here.

Your first 100 endpoints are free - not your first 10. Level’s free tier stops at 10 devices; past that it’s $2/endpoint/month, so a 100-device shop pays about $180/month where RFF is $0. Every operational feature is in that free tier: monitoring, patching, remote tools, automation, self-healing checks. Not a teaser.

And Group Policy you can actually read. RFF captures a machine’s effective policy, versions it, and shows drift in plain English - down to which GPO set each value. That’s the thing we built and nobody in this category has.

Where the money actually lands

Level pricing per level.io/pricing, July 2026: first 10 endpoints free, then $2/endpoint/month, billed on the previous month’s peak device count. RFF pricing per our pricing page: Free to 100, Starter $149/mo including 100 then $2.00/endpoint with no cap, MSP $149 base + $1.75/endpoint for multi-client fleets.

On price these two are a wash, so decide on fit. Under 100 endpoints RFF is free and Level is not. Above 100 we’re both $2.00/endpoint and the two curves run parallel - RFF’s $149 base covers 100 endpoints where Level gives you 10 free, which leaves RFF exactly $31/month cheaper at every size, whether you run 250 machines or 5,000. That’s a rounding error on a four-figure bill, so price should not be the deciding factor here. Pick the tool that fits how you work.

Feature comparison

Where Level wins: cross-platform and automation maturity. If you run Macs or Linux, RFF is simply not an option - we’re Windows-only on purpose. Level’s scripting engine is also more battle-tested than ours, and their agent has more miles on it.

Where RFF wins: a free tier 10× larger, and the Windows-specific surfaces we wrap - readable Group Policy baselines with drift, per-user-context deployment, and an uninstall engine that finds silent switches instead of making you hunt them.

Questions people actually ask

Isn’t Level cheaper once we’re past the free tier? Essentially no. Under 100 endpoints RFF is free and Level isn’t. Above that we’re both $2.00/endpoint, and because RFF’s $149 base includes 100 endpoints against Level’s 10 free, RFF lands $31/month cheaper at any size - identical at 250 machines or 5,000. On a bill that size it isn’t a reason to switch either way. Run your own number; if Level fits how your team works, use Level.

We have some Macs. Then use Level, or use both. We’re Windows-only. Mac and Linux are on the roadmap if demand shows up, but they don’t exist today.

Is RFF as mature? No. Level has been at this longer and it shows in the automation engine. What we have is a bigger free tier and a Windows-deep feature set - the free 100 endpoints exist precisely so you can find out for yourself instead of taking our word for it.

Can we run both? Yes, and that’s the sane way to evaluate. Put RFF on 10 machines you don’t lose sleep over, keep Level running, compare. Nothing to rip out.
