Patch My PC in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

Patch My PC automates third-party application packaging, deployment, and updates for managed devices. It suits IT teams invested in Microsoft management tools; its broad catalog and Windows-and-Mac coverage are meaningful strengths, while the enterprise starting price makes it a poor fit for personal use or small, lightly managed fleets.

Key features

Publisher works with Microsoft ConfigMgr, Intune, and WSUS. Patch My PC Cloud is a SaaS portal built mainly for Intune customers, with the ability to extend ConfigMgr. That makes the product most compelling when those tools are already central to device management, rather than for teams seeking a standalone patching workflow.

The catalog covers 3,782 supported products. Patch My PC aims to release updates on the same day vendors publish them, generally between 1:00 and 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. That can reduce recurring packaging work, though the stated timing is a goal, not a guarantee for every release.

Publisher creates packages for x86, x64, and ARM64. Cloud can build custom software packages and publish them to ConfigMgr or Intune, and can create and publish macOS DMG and PKG applications to Intune for Intel and Apple Silicon. This is useful for organizations managing mixed Windows and Mac fleets, but macOS publishing is tied to Intune.

The company says it holds ISO 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type 2 report, uses encryption and access controls, and incorporates security into its software development lifecycle. Enterprise subscriptions include unlimited support from in-house engineers, setup assistance, and environment reviews—substantial help for deployment, though it is part of the paid enterprise offering.

Pricing

Home Updater is free, billed 100% free. It is for non-commercial use only and supports 64-bit Windows 10 or later and Windows Server 2016 or later. It gives personal Windows users a no-cost route to application updating, but not the managed-device workflows or macOS coverage described for the enterprise plans.

Enterprise Plus costs $3.50 a year, billed $3.5 /device/year, and starts at $3,500/year for up to 1,000 devices. It covers Windows and macOS and includes ConfigMgr, Intune, and WSUS integrations plus basic reporting. The starting price is a significant floor for smaller fleets, even before considering that the advertised starting coverage reaches 1,000 devices.

Enterprise Premium costs $5 a year, billed $5 /device/year, and starts at $5,000/year for up to 1,000 devices. It adds advanced reporting, CVE visibility, real-time ConfigMgr actions, and device health to Enterprise Plus. It is the better fit for teams that need those visibility and response features; teams content with basic reporting can avoid the higher starting price with Plus.

The business trial lasts 30 days and includes all features and supported products, giving teams time to assess the full workflow before committing. The published plans distinguish a free, non-commercial Windows option from paid enterprise subscriptions.

Platforms

Enterprise coverage includes Windows and macOS, with scheduled deployment and third-party app patching. Publisher supports x86, x64, and ARM64 application packaging; Cloud can publish macOS DMG and PKG apps to Intune for Intel and Apple Silicon. Home Updater is narrower: Windows desktop and server only, under its stated version and non-commercial restrictions.

Who it's for

Patch My PC is best for IT administrators managing Windows or mixed Windows-and-Mac estates through ConfigMgr, Intune, or WSUS who want a maintained catalog, packaging workflows, and enterprise support. Home Updater is a separate choice for non-commercial Windows users. Organizations outside the Microsoft management ecosystem, or those unable to justify the enterprise starting commitment, should look for a lighter alternative.

Pros and cons

Pro: A 3,782-product catalog and same-day update goal can cut repetitive third-party application maintenance.

Pro: Windows and macOS support, including ARM64 packaging and Intune publishing for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, helps serve mixed estates.

Pro: Unlimited in-house engineer support, setup help, and environment reviews give enterprise customers implementation assistance.

Con: Enterprise Plus starts at $3,500/year and Premium at $5,000/year, a substantial commitment for smaller organizations.

Con: Home Updater is limited to non-commercial use on 64-bit Windows 10 or later and Windows Server 2016 or later.

Con: Cloud's macOS publishing is to Intune, and the overall workflow is most relevant to organizations using Microsoft's management products.

Alternatives

For no-cost or lower-cost updating beyond a managed enterprise platform, these options may suit different needs:

UCheck is a Windows freemium option with a $12 a year Premium plan that includes scheduled scans, update installation, new-software installation, and enterprise use; choose it when those updater functions matter more than Patch My PC's managed Microsoft integrations and enterprise packaging workflows.

UniGetUI is free, open source, and MIT licensed across Linux, macOS, and Windows; choose it when a free cross-platform option is the priority.

Topgrade is a free, open-source CLI for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with self-updating binary and package-manager installation options; choose it when a command-line updater fits better than managed application deployment.

RuckZuck is freely available for private use and has Windows, API, and self-hosted platforms; choose it when that model fits your use case, noting its public API limits of 5 getsoftwares requests/min and 20 checkforupdate requests/min.

Glarysoft Software Update offers a free Windows plan for manual downloads and a $12.95 a year Pro plan for automatic software updates; choose it for a simpler Windows software-update tool rather than managed fleet packaging.

IObit Uninstaller is a Windows freemium tool whose free plan focuses on batch app removal and leftover cleanup; choose it when uninstalling software, rather than patching a managed fleet, is the need.

Version Tracker is a freemium macOS alternative; consider it when a Mac-focused option better matches your needs.

Ubuntu Update Manager is a free Linux package-management frontend with graphical updates and system upgrades; choose it for Ubuntu system updates.

For broader comparisons, see Software Update Tools, Patch Management Software, and Application Deployment Software.

Verdict

Choose Patch My PC if you manage a substantial Windows or mixed Mac-and-Windows estate through ConfigMgr, Intune, or WSUS and value a broad application catalog, packaging workflows, and in-house support. Its main reason to look elsewhere is the enterprise price floor; personal Windows users have a free option, but teams seeking an inexpensive standalone updater should choose a lighter tool.

Verdict

Patch My PC offers packaging and update workflows for managed Windows and macOS applications, with Publisher and Cloud options. The starting Enterprise prices and device coverage are important constraints to weigh.
