DeskDay AI is coming soon. Get early access to the next generation of MSP intelligence. Join Waitlist
Atera is a strong platform for MSPs that want RMM and PSA under one roof, particularly if you manage a high volume of endpoints per tech. But for MSPs already running other RMMs, every Atera seat includes RMM you're already paying for elsewhere.
DeskDay takes a different approach: a full AI-native PSA at $59/tech, with no overage billing and no tier upgrade required for AI.
Unified RMM + PSA platform with unlimited endpoints per tech; per-tech pricing regardless of device count; Robin AI available on higher tiers
Modern, chat-first, AI-native PSA. Helena AI copilot included at every plan from day one; integrates with best-of-breed RMMs; no forced bundle
MSPs with high endpoint density (200+ devices per tech) who want RMM and PSA in one tool with no per-device fees
MSPs that have an RMM or want to choose their own, and need a best-in-class AI-native PSA at a predictable, affordable price
30-day free trial, no credit card; guided setup for both RMM and PSA together
Same day to a few days with guided onboarding
Modern UI, well-reviewed for ease of use; more to configure when setting up both RMM and PSA modules
