AndroidNexus

AndroidNexus is an Android Enterprise EMM for dedicated devices: kiosks, point of sale, digital signage, rugged handhelds, and robot tablets. It is built on Google's Android Management API (AMAPI) and costs $0.80 per device per month, with zero-touch enrollment, kiosk mode, and a custom launcher on the Standard plan. Android Device Policy, Google's own app, installs during enrollment and does the management on the device: it installs your apps and applies the policy, and Google updates it for each Android release. No agent of ours is required and there is no custom DPC. Device Admin, which Google deprecated, is not supported. We build and run the console around Google's API, which is why it costs $0.80. Lock each Android device to its job. Dedicated (kiosk) mode, fully managed, COPE, and work profile are all included; kiosk mode needs Android 9, COPE needs Android 11. Any maker's device enrolls, Android 8.0 or later with Google Play services: Samsung, Zebra, Honeywell, Lenovo, TCL, Google, and others. OEMConfig apps, Samsung's Knox Service Plugin among them, are set up from the policy like any managed app. Enroll by QR code after a factory reset, or by enrollment code for devices that cannot scan. Devices registered for zero-touch or Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment enroll on first boot, on either plan. Enrollment tokens carry expiry dates, single-use limits, and tags. Policies save as numbered versions and reach devices only when you deploy; every earlier version stays in the history to diff against or clone. Kiosk options are a single-app kiosk, Google's basic multi-app kiosk, or a custom launcher designed in the console and run by the AndroidNexus Companion app. Apps come from managed Google Play (public, private, and web apps) with install rules and runtime permissions, managed configurations and OEMConfig, and private APKs outside Play up to 400 MB with staged rollouts. Policies cover passwords and biometrics, restrictions, system updates and freeze periods, Wi-Fi networks, always-on VPN with lockdown, display settings, and integrity rules that block or wipe a device when Google reports a security risk. Device operations: lock, reboot, reset password, and clear app data from the device page, with lock, reboot, and factory reset in bulk; lost mode that locks the device and shows your contact details on screen; factory reset and work profile removal; device codes, names, and up to 10 tags per device; event log, telemetry (battery, CPU, memory, storage, OS and security patch level), and app inventory; eSIM profiles on Android 15 and later; device location, signal, and battery health reported by the Companion app; and file transfer to devices or tags. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Team access uses owner, admin, member, and viewer roles. Remote view and control comes from DeviceView, a separate subscription: $1.80 per device per month together with Standard. Pricing: Standard is $0.80 per device per month, self-serve, with a 20-device minimum ($16 to start). Billing follows the devices that check in: a device that checks in at least once in a month counts once for that month, and a device that stays silent all month drops out of the next month's charge. Month to month, cancel any time, and a full refund on request within 15 days of your first subscription. There is no free trial; the live demo at demo.androidnexus.ai is a shared console that needs no sign-up. Enterprise is by quote and adds the REST API with expiring API keys, granular RBAC, a certificate library and per-device certificates issued from your CA over SCEP or EST, priority support with a response-time SLA, and dedicated onboarding. Hosting: the console is run by DeviceNexus. On Enterprise it can also be deployed in your cloud or on your premises, quoted separately. Either way, policy reaches devices through Google's Android Management API, so devices need Google Play services. Teams compare AndroidNexus with Microsoft Intune, Omnissa Workspace ONE, SOTI MobiControl, Hexnode UEM, Scalefusion, Esper, and 42Gears SureMDM. AndroidNexus manages only Android devices with Google Play services. That focus lets dedicated-device fleets get kiosk mode, zero-touch enrollment, and a custom launcher at $0.80 per device, without paying for Windows, iOS, or macOS management they don’t use. For the Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS devices around them, DeviceView from DeviceNexus adds remote support and fleet operations in one console. Searching for an Android MDM? Google now calls it EMM, built on Android Enterprise. Moving from an older Device Admin MDM takes a factory reset, then devices re-enroll through Google’s framework. AndroidNexus is built by DeviceNexus, an Android Enterprise Silver partner. DeviceNexus has completed a SOC 2 Type II examination and holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification. DeviceNexus also makes DeviceView for remote support and the DeviceNexus Physical AI Platform, which flashes and updates a robot's own computer.
