Remoasset: A Firstbase Alternative
RemoassetVSFirstbase

Remoasset vs Firstbase

Firstbase runs a genuine full-lifecycle platform across a claimed 150+ countries, priced by custom quote and split into service tiers by region. Remoasset runs the same lifecycle, procurement through disposal, with one consistent operations model everywhere and pricing you can see before you ever book a call.

The Problem 01

A strong platform, a tiered map, and a price nobody sees

Firstbase is a real full-lifecycle platform, and we say so without hedging. But its own materials describe a structure where the experience depends heavily on where your team is, and the price depends on a negotiation you have to start first.

  • ×No published pricing; G2 rates its perceived cost at the highest tier on the scale
  • ×Tier 1 countries (US, UK, EU, Canada) get full direct support; Tier 2 geographies run through third-party partners
  • ×Reviewers report shipping times can be inconsistent, particularly outside core regions
  • ×A reviewer reported a security incident at a third-party warehouse used for international storage
The Fix 02

The same lifecycle, one model, one visible price

Remoasset covers the same procurement-through-disposal ground, then runs it as one operations layer — no service tiers by country, no negotiation required to see a number.

  • Published pricing: pay-as-you-go or $1,499/yr, cancel anytime
  • 80+ countries, same operating model in every one
  • In-house warehousing and operations, particular depth in Middle East and APAC
  • 24/7 Total Care+ with a written 3-day replacement guarantee

Firstbase is a genuine full-lifecycle competitor with real MDM sync, a wide integration catalog, and strong retrieval rates — we won't pretend otherwise. Where Remoasset differs is structural: one operations model instead of a country-tiered one, and a price you can see before the first call.

Where it counts 04

Three places this decision is really made

Pricing transparency

Highest perceived cost on the scale, and no number until you ask

Firstbase does not publish pricing anywhere on its site. Its own G2 profile rates "Perceived Cost" at the maximum tier on the scale, and independent analysis of customer contracts describes combined platform and service commitments that can reach six figures annually, structured per device, per usage volume, or per asset.

Remoasset publishes its structure: pay-as-you-go for teams of 5 to 50 employees, or $1,499 per year, cancel anytime. You can put our number in your budget before you ever talk to us, and we will model both structures against your real usage in the first call.

Coverage, tier by tier

150+ countries on paper. Two different service levels in practice.

Firstbase's own materials describe a tiered geography model: Tier 1 warehouses in the US, UK, EU and Canada get full direct operations, while Tier 2 geographies, including APAC, LATAM and MEA, run through third-party partners with more limited capabilities. G2 reviewers echo this, noting shipping times outside core markets can run longer than expected, and that returns can be slower in some regions.

Remoasset's 80+ countries run the same in-country operations model everywhere, with particular depth in the Middle East and APAC markets that Firstbase's own tiering treats as a secondary layer rather than a core market.

Warehousing & security

Whose warehouse is your device sitting in?

One G2 reviewer reported a security incident involving theft at a third-party vendor warehouse used for international storage, and noted that Firstbase helped find a more reliable solution in the affected countries after the fact. That is a real, specific report worth weighing, not a hypothetical risk — and it traces directly back to the tiered model, where storage outside Tier 1 sometimes runs through partners rather than Firstbase's own operations.

Remoasset runs warehousing as an in-house operation across its countries, with the same custody standard applied whether a device is in Chicago or Riyadh.

From the reviews 05

What Firstbase users dislike, according to G2

Firstbase holds a strong 4.8/5 on G2 across 50 reviews. Drawn from the "What do you dislike" sections of those reviews, plus its own pricing insights panel, in our own words.

Inconsistent shipping times

An IT support reviewer at an enterprise company said shipping times in certain regions can run longer than expected, while acknowledging the delays aren't always Firstbase's fault since courier partners are often the bottleneck. Another reviewer separately called shipping consistency the main challenge when onboarding someone quickly.

Third-party warehouse theft

A reviewer managing international employees and partners reported facing security issues at third-party vendor warehouses used outside the US, which occasionally led to theft. Firstbase assisted in finding a more reliable solution in two affected countries after the fact.

Undisclosed pricing

Firstbase has not published pricing for its platform on G2 or its own site. G2's own pricing insights panel, built from real user reviews, rates the perceived cost at the highest tier on its scale — the number only surfaces once you request a quote.

HRIS integration friction

A reviewer described running into challenges with the HRIS integration delivered through Merge.dev, and said they had hoped Firstbase would be more familiar with the integration's nuances and better able to flag potential issues during implementation.

Verified User · G2
Limited asset customization

A reviewer summary on a third-party ITAM comparison noted Firstbase lacks granular control over assets as one of its consistent limitations, alongside a wish for more detailed reporting around device lifecycle from another reviewer.

The pattern

These complaints share a shape: performance and custody standards that vary by which tier your country falls into, and a price that stays invisible until you ask. Remoasset's answer is structural: one operations model everywhere, in-house warehousing, and pricing published before the first call.

Being straight with you 07

The honest call on fit

No tool wins every time. Here is where each one is the right choice, so you can decide with clear eyes.

Choose Firstbase if

For a mature, full-lifecycle platform with deep integrations, it is a genuine contender.

  • Your footprint is concentrated in Tier 1 countries: US, UK, EU, Canada
  • You want MDM sync with Jamf, Intune or JumpCloud rather than a native managed MDM
  • You have the scale and budget to negotiate an enterprise contract
  • You want the widest available integration catalog in this category

Choose Remoasset if

You want the same lifecycle without a country-tiered experience.

  • Your team spans the Middle East, APAC or LATAM as core markets, not secondary ones
  • You want published pricing and a pay-as-you-go option, not a custom quote
  • In-house custody of stored devices matters more than the lowest possible price
  • You want a written 24/7 SLA with a 3-day replacement guarantee
Switching 08

Moving from Firstbase to Remoasset

If your fleet already runs on Firstbase, nothing breaks on day one. The usual path is to move your Tier 2 countries first, the regions where Firstbase itself operates through third-party partners, onto Remoasset's in-house operations, with native MDM and certified NIST 800-88 wiping from the start.

Once those countries are running without the tiering gap, we extend to your Tier 1 markets at the pace that suits your existing contract term, and your asset records come across with the devices.

FAQ 09

Questions teams ask before switching

Firstbase doesn't publish pricing. How do I compare costs against Remoasset?+
Firstbase's own G2 profile rates its perceived cost at the highest tier on the scale, and third-party analysis of customer contracts describes combined platform and service commitments that can reach six figures annually. Remoasset publishes its structure openly: pay-as-you-go for teams of 5 to 50 employees, or a $1,499 per year subscription, cancel anytime. You can see our number before you ever book a call.
Firstbase claims 150+ countries. Remoasset claims 80+. Doesn't Firstbase win on coverage?+
Firstbase's own materials describe a tiered geography model: Tier 1 countries (US, UK, EU, Canada) get full direct support, while Tier 2 geographies including APAC, LATAM and MEA run through third-party partners with more limited capabilities. Remoasset's 80+ countries run the same operations model everywhere, with particular depth in exactly the regions Firstbase tiers down. Check both coverage lists against your actual hiring map — send us yours and we will tell you plainly where we run and where we don't.
What does Remoasset do that Firstbase doesn't?+
Less than you might expect on paper — Firstbase is a genuine full-lifecycle competitor with real MDM sync and strong retrieval rates, and we say so plainly. The differences are published pricing versus a custom quote, one consistent operations model versus a tiered geography structure, and in-house warehousing versus third-party partners in some countries, which has led to at least one publicly reported security incident.
Firstbase syncs with Jamf, Intune and JumpCloud. Does Remoasset match that?+
Firstbase's MDM integration is real, syncing data from platforms you already run rather than replacing them, credit where it's due. Remoasset takes a different approach: native MDM across five platforms, Miradore, Kandji, Hexnode, Intune and Jamf, managed directly rather than synced. Both are credible models; the difference is whether MDM is a connected view or a managed service.
