Patching that lives inside automation
Patch from the Updates page, or let a scheduled trigger or alert run the update across tagged devices, every run logged.
Level vs Action1
Action1 stands up cloud patching fast. Level is a full RMM: patching plus monitoring, alerting, automation, and built-in remote across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
First 10 devices free. No contracts.
Teams are moving from Action1 to Level. Here is what changed once patching was only part of the job.
Dana Whitlock
IT Manager, Halbrook Retail Group
“Action1 patched well, but we still bolted on monitoring and a separate remote tool. On Level the patch runs, the alert fires, and the remote session starts from the same console.”
Sofia Marchetti
Systems Lead, Verano Clinics
“We wanted one tool instead of a patcher plus three others. We moved off Action1, rebuilt our schedules as Level automations, and now patching and alerting run together.”
How Level and Action1 compare. A short, honest look at what matters day to day.
| Level | Action1 | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing and terms | ||
| Pricing model | Transparent per-device pricing, no contract (rate on the pricing page) | Teams evaluating Action1 often ask how per-endpoint pricing scales past the free tier |

| Try it | First 10 devices free, self-serve signup | Free tier for a capped number of endpoints |
| Capabilities | ||
| Patching | Updates page with Available, Logs, and History, plus tags, scheduled triggers, and automation actions | Cloud patch management that is fast to stand up, a real strength |
| Monitoring and alerting | Checks and monitors raise alerts that can trigger a workflow | Teams evaluating Action1 often ask about monitoring depth beyond patch status |
| Automation and scripting | Multi-step workflows; PowerShell, Bash, Python; run live across tagged devices | Scripted actions oriented around patch and deployment tasks |
| Built-in remote control | In-browser sessions and background commands | Confirm current remote session capabilities with Action1 |
| Cross-platform | Windows, macOS, and Linux for core RMM workflows; coverage can vary by OS | Teams evaluating Action1 often ask about macOS maturity and third-party patch catalog coverage |

Three places Level pulls ahead. This is where a full RMM does more than patch.
Visual
Monitoring and alerting in the same console
Checks watch each device, raise an alert when something changes, and can start a workflow before a ticket opens.
Visual
Remote control without a second tool
Start an in-browser session from the device list, and run background commands without interrupting anyone.
Switching is a phased move, not a big bang. Run Level beside Action1 until you are ready.
Enroll 10 to 20 devices with a scripted agent install. The first 10 are free.
Apply a patch from the Updates page, set a monitor and alert, run a script, and start a remote session.
Move sites or clients over in phases, and keep Action1 running until you switch.
Install on a subset.
Validate the workflows that matter.
Expand by group.
A lean team, a large fleet. This is what small-team leverage looks like on Level.
400+ endpoints run by a 3-technician team Bascom Logistics
600 devices migrated in a single weekend Grissom Tech
98% of available patches applied on schedule across a managed fleet
“Level gives us the power for only a few technicians to manage hundreds of endpoints from anywhere in the world with real-time insight.”

Questions teams ask before switching. Here is how patching, migration, and day-one setup work.
Do I need a patching tool, or a full RMM?
If patching is the whole job, a patch-only tool can be enough. If you also run monitoring, alerting, automation, and remote sessions, Level does patching plus all of that in one console instead of a patcher and separate tools.
Can I run Level alongside Action1 while I evaluate?
Yes. Install Level on a subset of devices and keep Action1 running until you are ready to switch.
How does patching work in Level?
Patching lives on the Updates page with Available, Logs, and History. You can patch there directly, or use tags, scheduled triggers, and automation actions to run updates across devices on a schedule.
What happens to my Action1 schedules when I move?
You rebuild them as Level automations and schedules, and run your PowerShell, Bash, and Python across tagged devices.
How does Level's pricing compare?
Level uses transparent per-device pricing with no contract, and the first 10 devices are free. See the pricing page for the rate, then compare it against Action1 for your endpoint count.
What operating systems and remote workflows are supported?
Windows, macOS, and Linux for core RMM workflows, with coverage that can vary by OS, plus in-browser remote sessions and background commands.
How is Level different from Microsoft Intune for patching?
Microsoft Intune is centered on Windows device management. Level patches from the Updates page and adds monitoring, alerting, automation, and built-in remote across Windows, macOS, and Linux in one console.
