Microsoft Intune: features, pricing and who it fits

Checked October 24, 2026 · microsoft.com

Microsoft Intune covers Linux, ChromeOS, Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, and arrives bundled with Microsoft 365 E3 and E5. Standalone Plan 1 costs $8 per user monthly. Remote Help and an enterprise app catalog cost extra, and licensing across the plans confuses some reviewers.

Who Microsoft Intune is for

Best for

Companies already on Microsoft 365 E3 or E5, where Intune Plan 1 is already included
Windows-heavy fleets that want Autopilot and Entra conditional access

Look elsewhere if

Apple-only shops that want deep Apple day-one feature support
Very small teams that want a simple flat per-device price

Pros and cons

What users like

Tight fit with Microsoft 365, Entra and conditional access
Strong requirements coverage and app protection features

Common complaints

Admin console and licensing can be confusing across plans and add-ons
Support rated lower than product features on G2 sub-scores (8.4 of 10)

Integrations, security and hosting

Data residency: Microsoft EU Data Boundary applies to EU-located tenants per Microsoft documentation; Intune-specific storage details not confirmed by the vendor

Worth knowing before you buy

Plan 1 at $8 per user is already included in M365 E3 and E5, so many buyers pay nothing extra
Advanced modules (Remote Help, Analytics, EPM) are separately priced add-ons now but Microsoft says they fold into E3/E5 from July 2026
Add-ons all require Plan 1 and an Entra ID tenant
Apple support is current-version focused: iOS/iPadOS 18 and macOS 15 listed as fully supported, older versions only 'allowed'
Android device administrator support ended on GMS devices in December 2024
