Our picks
Nomid is a focused pick for single-app kiosks in an Android-only fleet, free for up to 10 devices. Scalefusion suits signage, Android TV and scheduling. ManageEngine MDM Plus lists the lowest published price for large fleets. Microsoft Intune suits teams already paying for Microsoft 365. Fully Kiosk Browser runs one web page on one tablet without an MDM, but it is not an MDM. We name no overall winner.
Nomid Best for single-app kiosks in an Android-only fleet
One reusable policy locks a device to one app, hides the system bars, keeps the screen on while plugged in and sets update windows. You can reboot from the console, with remote access on eligible plans. The Free plan covers up to 10 devices.
No URL as the kiosk app, no schedules, no offline alerts, no Android TV and no app relaunch on Google-managed devices.
Read the assessment Best for signage, Android TV and scheduling
Lists Android TV and digital signage, schedules media in advance, and enrolls one screen by QR code or many by zero-touch. Kiosk mode for Android starts at $2 per device per month.
A signage price is not published, and the $2 plan has a 10-device minimum billed annually.
Read the assessment Best price at large fleet size
About $0.39 per device per month is the entry price at the 10,000-device cloud Standard tier; kiosk inclusion in that plan is not confirmed. Kiosk start and stop by time of day, scheduled reboots and unattended remote access are documented.
That price is a large-fleet tier. Devices need Samsung Knox or Android 5.0 or later fully managed mode, and personal devices are not supported.
Read the assessment Best if you already pay for Microsoft 365
Single-app and multi-app kiosk on Android Enterprise dedicated devices, enrolled by QR code or Google zero-touch, in the console you may already run.
Priced per user from about $8 per month, and kiosk inclusion by plan is not confirmed. Scheduling, alerts and Android TV are not published, and Remote Help is a paid add-on.
Read the assessment Fully Kiosk BrowserBest for one URL on one tablet with no MDM
A kiosk browser app that locks a tablet to a site or app, with PIN exit, URL allow and block lists, and scheduled wake and sleep. One-time licence of 10.99 USD per device.
It is not an MDM, and its enrollment options are not published.

At a glance
- One app, Android-only fleet
- Start with Nomid. One reusable policy locks a device to one app, hides the system bars and sets update windows, and the Free plan covers up to 10 devices.
- You need signage, Android TV or scheduled content
- Choose Scalefusion or Hexnode. Both list Android TV and signage. Scalefusion schedules media in advance and Hexnode schedules through Automations. Nomid has no Android TV support and no schedules.
- A large fleet and price decides
- Look at ManageEngine MDM Plus. Its entry price is about $0.39 per device per month at the 10,000-device cloud tier, and kiosk inclusion by plan is not confirmed, so check the price for your own tier.
- You already pay for Microsoft 365
- Check Microsoft Intune first. It documents single-app and multi-app kiosk on dedicated Android devices and is priced per user, from about $8 per month; kiosk inclusion by plan is not confirmed.
- One web page on one tablet
- Fully Kiosk Browser is a one-time 10.99 USD licence per device. It is a kiosk browser app, not an MDM, so plan how you will manage more than a few tablets.

A closer look at each platform
Who each option suits, when to look elsewhere, and what to confirm in a pilot.
Jump to a platform
Best for single-app kiosks in an Android-only fleet
Nomid
- Choose it when
- Your fleet is Android only, each device runs one app, and you want to prove it on up to 10 devices for free.
- Reconsider if
- You need a URL as the kiosk app, schedules, offline alerts or Android TV, or you need an app relaunched on Google-managed devices.
Nomid manages company-owned Android devices by policy. A kiosk policy locks a device to a single app, hides the system bars, keeps the screen awake while plugged in and sets update windows. Policies are reusable across devices, and you can reboot a device from the console.
What to check
Test one device of your exact model before rollout. Remote access depends on your plan, and Android TV is not supported.
Best for signage, Android TV and scheduling
Scalefusion
- Choose it when
- You run signage or Android TV screens and need content scheduled in advance.
- Reconsider if
- You need a published signage price or a generic offline alert.
Scalefusion documents single-app and multi-app Android kiosk, plus an Android digital signage product that covers Android TV, media scheduled in advance and screen mirroring and control.
What to check
Ask for the price of the signage plan, since the pricing page does not mention signage. The Essential plan has a 10-device minimum and annual billing, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.
Best for kiosk browsers and Android TV with automations
Hexnode
- Choose it when
- You want kiosk browsers with URL whitelisting, or Android TV screens that power off or restart on a schedule.
- Reconsider if
- You need published alerts or kiosk enrollment steps.
Hexnode documents single-app, multi-app and web-app kiosk on Android, dedicated kiosk browsers with URL whitelisting, and kiosk mode for Android TVs and signage.
What to check
Confirm how kiosk devices enroll, which was not verified on the pages reviewed, and which plan you need. Kiosk Management is included in the Pro plan.

Best price at large fleet size
ManageEngine MDM Plus
- Choose it when
- You manage thousands of devices and the per-device price decides, or you want a free edition to try the product on up to 25 devices.
- Reconsider if
- Your fleet is small, since the lowest published price is a 10,000-device tier, or you need Android TV, which is not named.
ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus documents single-app and multi-app kiosk, a single web-app kiosk that refreshes after inactivity, time-of-day kiosk start and stop, and unattended remote access while a device is in kiosk mode.
What to check
Ask for the price at your device count. The free edition lists all features for up to 25 devices, but its page does not name kiosk. Unattended access may need an add-on and an accessibility permission.
Best for blueprint-managed kiosk fleets
Esper
- Choose it when
- You want single-app or multi-app kiosks managed through blueprints, with digital signage listed as a supported device type.
- Reconsider if
- You need a free tier or a contract under 25 devices, or published scheduling.
Esper documents single-app and multi-app kiosk through blueprints, lists digital signage as a supported device type, and offers battery, network and Bluetooth alerts.
What to check
Pricing has a 25-device minimum contract. Scheduling, remote control and Android TV are not published on the pages reviewed.
Best for established enterprise estates with kiosk browsing
SOTI MobiControl
- Choose it when
- You run an enterprise mobile estate and want a secure kiosk browser with Remote Support.
- Reconsider if
- You need a published price, signage or published scheduling.
SOTI MobiControl documents a single-app mode profile and lists Lockdown Mode. SOTI Surf limits users to chosen sites, with a home page and a hidden bottom bar.
What to check
Price is by quote. Scheduling, alerts, signage and Android TV are not published on the pages reviewed. Enrollment lists zero-touch, barcode and NFC, and QR code is not stated.
Best if you already pay for Microsoft 365
Microsoft Intune
- Choose it when
- Your organization already runs Microsoft 365 and Intune, and your kiosks are company-owned dedicated devices.
- Reconsider if
- You need published scheduling, alerts, Android TV or kiosk remote view, or your devices lack Google Mobile Services.
Microsoft Intune documents single-app and multi-app kiosk on Android Enterprise dedicated devices, with multi-app through Managed Home Screen. Dedicated devices can be limited to a set of apps including web apps, and Microsoft names digital signage as an example.
What to check
Check whether your Microsoft subscription already includes the Intune rights you need. Android Enterprise requires Google Mobile Services, and Remote Help is a paid add-on.
Best for one URL on one tablet with no MDM
Fully Kiosk Browser
- Choose it when
- You need one web page or app locked on a few tablets and no fleet management.
- Reconsider if
- You need an MDM: its enrollment options are not published.
Fully Kiosk Browser is a kiosk browser app, not an MDM. It locks a device to a site or app, with PIN exit, URL allow and block lists, scheduled wake and sleep, and signage playback.
What to check
Test before you buy, as the vendor allows. Fully Cloud adds fleet monitoring and screenshots for a monthly fee per device, and Remote Admin covers remote access.

How we ranked
We compared eight Android kiosk platforms on six documented facts. Each table cell records what the vendor’s own pages state on the review date, and we record each one as documented, limited or not published.
- Kiosk modes
- Whether single-app, multi-app and web or URL kiosk are documented.
- Android TV and signage
- Whether Android TV or digital signage screens are listed as supported.
- Scheduling and alerts
- Documented time-based kiosk or content schedules, and alerts for devices that stop reporting.
- Remote support
- Documented remote view or control, and whether it works while the device is in kiosk mode.
- Entry price
- Lowest published price, whether it is per device or per user, minimum commitment, and any free plan or trial.
- Fleet fit
- The fleet types and device requirements the vendor names, including shared and rugged devices.
Each pick names a job, such as single-app kiosks in an Android-only fleet, or signage and Android TV. The pick is a platform whose own pages document that job, and where several qualify we favor the lowest published entry cost. Nomid is a pick for one job only, and it lacks URL kiosk, schedules, offline alerts and Android TV. We do not assign scores and we name no overall winner.
This guide interprets vendor pages. It does not include hands-on tests, and a missing fact means the page we read did not state it, not that the product lacks it. Vendor pages change, so confirm current details before you buy.

Questions buyers ask about Android kiosk software
What is the best Android kiosk software?
It depends on the job, and we name no overall winner. Nomid suits single-app kiosks in an Android-only fleet. Scalefusion suits signage, Android TV and scheduling. ManageEngine MDM Plus lists the lowest price for large fleets. Intune suits Microsoft 365 teams, and Fully Kiosk Browser suits one URL on one tablet.
Do I need an MDM for a kiosk?
Not for one tablet showing one web page. Fully Kiosk Browser locks a tablet to a URL without an MDM, but it is not an MDM. For a fleet, an MDM adds enrollment, policies and support from one console.
Which platforms support Android TV and digital signage?
Scalefusion and Hexnode list Android TV and signage. Esper lists digital signage as a device type, ManageEngine lists signage as a use case and Fully Kiosk Browser lists signage playback. Nomid does not support Android TV.
Is there a free Android kiosk option?
Nomid’s Free plan covers up to 10 devices. ManageEngine’s free edition manages up to 25 devices with all features listed, though its page does not name kiosk. Scalefusion, Hexnode and Esper offer trials, and Fully Kiosk Browser can be tested before you buy.
Can a kiosk open a web page instead of an app?
With some platforms. Hexnode, ManageEngine and Fully Kiosk Browser document web or URL kiosks on Android, and SOTI Surf documents a kiosk mode whose Android applicability is not stated. Nomid cannot use a URL as the kiosk app.
What does Android kiosk software cost?
Published entry plan prices range from $0.39 per device per month at ManageEngine’s 10,000-device tier to $2 per device at Scalefusion and Esper, $2.20 at Hexnode and about $8 per user at Intune. SOTI does not publish a price, and Fully Kiosk Browser is a one-time 10.99 USD per device. The pages reviewed do not confirm kiosk inclusion at the ManageEngine, Esper and Intune entry plans, and tiers and minimums differ, so confirm kiosk inclusion and compare quotes.
Do these platforms work on rugged and shared devices?
Vendors name their typical fleets, but this guide is not a hardware compatibility list. Test your exact model, enrollment mode and Android version before you scale.
How does Nomid compare with IBM MaaS360 for kiosks?
We compare them in a separate guide, Nomid vs IBM MaaS360 for Android kiosks. This guide does not rank MaaS360.
