The Syncro alternative for Windows-first teams
Syncro prices per technician, not per endpoint - $129/user/month annual on Core, $179 on Team, with unlimited managed endpoints on both. That’s a genuinely different model, and for some shops it’s unbeatable. It also bundles a PSA (ticketing, invoicing, billing), which RFF does not have and is not building.
RFF prices per endpoint and gives you the first 100 free. Whether that’s cheaper depends entirely on your ratio of technicians to machines - so here’s the honest arithmetic rather than a sales pitch.

Which is cheaper depends on your shape
| Your shop | Syncro (Core, annual) | RFF |
|---|---|---|
| 1 tech, 50 endpoints | $129/mo | Free |
| 1 tech, 100 endpoints | $129/mo | Free |
| 1 tech, 1,000 endpoints | $129/mo | $1,949/mo (Starter) |
| 3 techs, 80 endpoints | $387/mo | Free |
| 5 techs, 300 endpoints | $645/mo | $549/mo (Starter) |
Syncro pricing per syncrosecure.com/pricing, July 2026: Core $129/user/month annual ($159 monthly), Team $179/user/month annual ($209 monthly), unlimited endpoints, 14-day trial. RFF pricing per our pricing page: Free to 100, then Starter $149/mo including 100 endpoints plus $2.00/endpoint with no cap.
The pattern: Syncro wins on high endpoint counts per technician. RFF wins on small fleets and on teams with several technicians. A one-person shop managing 1,000 machines should genuinely use Syncro - $129/month flat is hard to argue with, and that is simply the better deal. Flip the ratio and it inverts: three techs looking after 80 machines pay Syncro $387/month and RFF nothing; five techs with 300 machines pay Syncro $645 against RFF’s $549.

Where Syncro wins: the PSA bundle and the per-tech model. If you need ticketing and billing in the same tool, that’s a category RFF doesn’t play in at all - and unlimited endpoints per tech is a real structural advantage at scale.
Where RFF wins: small fleets ride free, and the Windows-specific depth - Group Policy you can read and version, per-user-context deployment, an uninstall engine that finds silent switches for you.
Questions people actually ask
We need ticketing and invoicing. Then Syncro (or another PSA) is the right call - we don’t do that and aren’t planning to. Some teams run RFF for the Windows work and a separate PSA for the business side.
Unlimited endpoints for $129 sounds better than per-endpoint. For a small team with a big fleet, it usually is. Run your own numbers with the table above. If Syncro is cheaper for your shape, use Syncro.
We’re 100 endpoints or fewer. Then RFF is free and Syncro is $129+/month, and the comparison is mostly about whether you need the PSA.
Where’s the crossover? Roughly: divide your endpoint count by your technician count. Above ~250 endpoints per tech Syncro’s flat seat price usually wins; below that, per-endpoint pricing (and a free first 100) usually does.
