Comparison
OpenRMM vs Datto RMM
Datto RMM is a cloud RMM sold by quote. OpenRMM is open source, can run on your own servers and publishes its entire price on the site.
Datto RMM data checked on 2026-11-01 against Datto's own pages listed at the end of this page. Where those pages say nothing, we say so instead of guessing.
Choose Datto RMM if…
- you want a commercial platform that connects with Datto's other products, such as Autotask PSA and SIRIS backup;
- you prefer a service operated by the vendor, on a regional platform (two in Ireland, two in the United States and one in Sydney);
- you are comfortable asking for a quote instead of reading a price.
Choose OpenRMM if…
- you want to see the price before talking to sales;
- you want the option of running it on your own servers or reading the code;
- you want an AI assistant with human approval enforced by the database, and an MCP server;
- you want to use a local AI model, without sending fleet data outside.
