Level vs Datto

A modern RMM with pricing you can read online and onboarding you can finish this week. Month to month, with no contract to sign first.

First 10 devices free. No contracts.

Teams are moving from Datto to Level. Here is what changed after they switched.

Operations Lead, Ridgeway IT Partners


“We left Datto when our renewal came up and we still could not get a price without a call. On Level we read the rate online, started on 15 devices for free, and were live across every site the same week.”

Theo Alvarez

Systems Manager, Halden Group


“Our old console buried us in alerts nobody triaged. Level let us scope monitors by tag and route only what matters, so the on-call queue finally went quiet without turning anything off.”

Three places Level pulls ahead. Try each one during a trial and judge it yourself.

Visual

Pricing you can read before you commit

The per-device rate is public and billing is month to month, so you size the fleet and start without a quote or a contract.

Onboarding you finish this week

Enroll devices with a scripted agent install, set your first workflows, and go live in days with free onboarding help.

Alerts that stay quiet until they matter

Scope monitors by tag and route only what needs a human, so the on-call queue reflects real work, not noise.

Switching is a phased move, not a big bang. Run Level beside Datto until you are ready.

Enroll 10 to 20 devices with a scripted agent install. The first 10 are free.

Check visibility, start a remote session, apply a patch, run a script, and tune one alert.

Move clients or sites over in phases, and keep Datto running until you switch.

A lean team, a large fleet. This is what small-team leverage looks like on Level.

Questions teams ask before switching. Here is how migration, pricing, and day-one setup work.

Can I run Level alongside Datto while I evaluate?

Yes. Install Level on a subset of devices and keep Datto running until you are ready to switch.

How fast can I test Level with my own devices?

Enroll a handful with a scripted agent install and validate visibility, remote access, patching, and a script the same day. The first 10 devices are free.

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 your Datto quote for your device count.

Does Level replace Datto or run next to it?

Most teams move to Level as their RMM and run both during migration. Level is RMM focused, so keep your existing backup and BCDR tooling if you rely on it.

Can Level cut down the alert noise we get today?

Yes. Scope monitors by tag and route only what needs a human, so the on-call queue reflects real work rather than every event.

What operating systems and remote workflows are supported?

Windows, macOS, and Linux for core RMM workflows; feature coverage can vary by OS. Remote work runs through in-browser sessions and background commands.

Does Level work with Microsoft Intune?

Teams often run Level for RMM alongside Microsoft Intune for MDM. Level handles the automation, scripting, remote sessions, and monitoring across your fleet.
