Evaluate with real support work
Keep your established patch process in place and choose a user issue that needs more than an update installation.
Work the issue through GenticFlow's ticket, investigation and remote tools. Repeat the hands-on steps from your phone.
Decide whether the support capability justifies the additional spend. If replacing patching is also a goal, validate application coverage and policy behavior separately.
Compare the cost of your whole support setup.
Smart includes remote control, monitoring, tickets and investigation, starting at 50 endpoints. Hero adds advanced automation and extensibility.
Action1's first 200 endpoints are free. Price GenticFlow against the support capability and separate subscriptions you would gain or replace, while including Action1 or any other patching service you keep.
Use the pricing page to estimate your fleet in your currency. Keep the cost of tools you still need in the comparison.

FAQ
Common questions.
Where each platform fits, what to test, and how to measure proof.
Is GenticFlow a cheaper alternative to Action1's free tier?
No. Action1 offers its first 200 endpoints free, while GenticFlow uses paid endpoint-based plans. The reason to evaluate GenticFlow is the broader daily support workflow, not a claim to undercut free patch management.
Does Action1 already include remote access?
Yes. Action1 includes remote access and endpoint management. Compare the complete user-support process and GenticFlow's mobile workflow, rather than treating remote access alone as the difference.
Which endpoints can I support from the mobile app?
Use GenticFlow on iOS and Android to take remote control of registered Windows x64 and ARM64, Intel and Apple-silicon Macs, and Linux endpoints. Terminal, files and support context are also available. The endpoint needs a reachable agent and an available desktop, with the required OS permissions. Actions depend on your role, endpoint capabilities and installed app and agent versions. Technician mobile access is separate from managing phones through MDM.
Can I evaluate GenticFlow alongside my current tools?
Yes. Start with a representative group of endpoints and real support cases. Keep existing patching, backup, security, billing and other services until you have checked the requirements they cover. Configure any overlapping endpoint policies deliberately. A comparison does not establish an integration or automatic migration; see the integrations page for supported connections.
What does the trial include?
Request a 30-day trial of the full platform, with no artificial endpoint cap. Our team follows up to help set up your environment; the form does not instantly provision an account. Smart includes daily support and remote control, starting at 50 endpoints. Hero starts at 100 endpoints and adds Script Library, custom workflows, webhooks, API and MCP access.
