The transparent, per-device alternative to Patch My PC
Patch My PC is the established incumbent: a large, mature catalog, ConfigMgr and WSUS heritage extended to Intune, and a long track record. Packer takes a leaner path for Intune-first teams and MSPs, with one published per-device price and every feature included from the first device.

Where Patch My PC is the better fit
Packer does not win every scenario, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. Patch My PC is a mature product with real strengths that matter for the right team.
- A larger, older catalog. With 3,583 products and years of maintenance behind them, Patch My PC covers a long tail of third-party apps and has a strong support reputation.
- ConfigMgr and WSUS coverage. Packer publishes to Intune only. If you still run ConfigMgr or WSUS, Patch My PC manages all three from one place.
- Vulnerability visibility on higher tiers. The Enterprise Premium tier adds CVE score visibility and device health monitoring, which Packer does not offer.
Questions people ask
Is Packer cheaper than Patch My PC?
Packer costs $0.20 per device per month, which works out to $2.40 per device per year, with a 25 device minimum. Patch My PC's official pricing page lists Enterprise Plus at $3.50 per device per year and Enterprise Premium at $5.00 per device per year, and the cheapest published tier carries a $3,500 per year minimum that covers up to 1,000 devices. A shop with far fewer than 1,000 devices still pays that floor, so Packer's per-device rate lands well below it for small and mid-sized fleets.
