Alternatives to Prey
Prey centers on locating missing or stolen devices and controlling them remotely. It combines active tracking, Wi-Fi triangulation, location history and geofences with actions such as locking screens, sounding alarms, sending messages and marking devices missing. Fleet administrators also get automated and mass actions, labels, permissions, a dashboard and an API. Custom wipe, remote encryption, factory reset and limited file retrieval extend its security controls across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. A free plan is available, while annual paid plans begin at $1.30 per slot each month.

Choosing instead of Prey
Alternatives appeal when the main task is accounting for equipment, custody, maintenance, contracts or depreciation rather than recovering devices. Prey retrieves one file up to 25 MB at a time and hosts it for 30 days. Official Linux support is limited to Ubuntu, and iOS capabilities depend heavily on operating-system restrictions. When switching, weigh security response and location coverage against inventory workflows, scanning, reservations, audits, self-hosting, integrations, user access controls and the price structure that fits your organization.
