Where Robopack is the better fit
Robopack is a genuinely enterprise-grade product, and for several needs it is the stronger choice. It would be dishonest to suggest otherwise.
- One of the largest catalogs in the space. Robopack states over 30,000 apps from winget and the Microsoft Store, and tests each package in a sandbox for install, uninstall, and detection before release.
- Free for the very smallest teams. Under 100 Intune-managed devices, Robopack offers a full-feature license at no cost (without support). If you run a tiny fleet and do not need support, that is hard to beat on price.
- Discovery and depth. Radar finds unmanaged software from Intune's Discovered Apps data, and Robopack adds PSADT script templates, package signing, ISO 27001 certification, and a public API. That is a deep, mature toolset.
Questions people ask
Is Packer cheaper than Robopack?
For the very smallest teams, Robopack is free: it offers a full-feature license under 100 Intune-managed devices, without support. From 100 devices up, Robopack applies a minimum annual fee that covers up to 256 devices, then EUR 3.50 per device per year above that. Packer charges $0.20 per device per month, or $2.40 per device per year, with a 25 device minimum. So a 150-device shop pays about $360 per year on Packer, well under Robopack's minimum annual fee, and Packer's per-device rate stays below EUR 3.50 as fleets grow.
Does Robopack support macOS?
Not yet. Robopack deploys desktop apps today and lists macOS support as planned, not yet shipped, on its own roadmap. Packer publishes to Microsoft Intune for third-party app packaging and does not deploy to Mac either, so neither tool covers macOS right now.
Does Robopack have audit logs and scheduled deployments?
Per Robopack's own Known Limitations documentation, it does not yet offer audit logs for user actions or scheduled deployments to a specific date and time, and lists both as planned. Packer logs every package, update, and publish automatically, and lets you set rollout rings and pause or roll back a release at any time.
Which has the bigger catalog, Packer or Robopack?
Robopack. It states access to over 30,000 apps sourced from winget and the Microsoft Store, one of the largest catalogs in this niche. Packer's catalog is built on winget and lists over 10,000 apps. If raw catalog breadth is your deciding factor, Robopack leads on that count.
Do I need a separate license for MSP or multi-tenant use?
No, in both cases. Packer includes multi-tenant management from the first device, with per-tenant approvals, rollout schedules, and audit logs, on one invoice. Robopack also includes multi-tenancy in its Starter Plan, with per-tenant permissions, SSO, and no stated limit on connected tenants.
