Fleet tools cover automated actions, status dashboards, bulk actions, labels, search, roles, permissions, and a developer API. Prey lists encrypted and authenticated agent communications, two-factor verification, SAML/SSO, and SSL/TLS support. File retrieval handles one file at a time, up to 25 MB, with files hosted for 30 days. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $1.30 per month per slot, billed annually. Prey supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and API access, with Linux support officially limited to Ubuntu.

Sortly is inventory management software for businesses tracking inventory, supplies, materials, tools, equipment, and other assets.
