Patch My PC has a free Home Updater that installs and updates more than 500 apps on a home PC, and an enterprise product for IT teams on Configuration Manager and Intune. The enterprise price starts at $3,500 a year and goes through a quote form. - **Value for money: B.** Home Updater is free. Enterprise Plus is $3.5 per device a year, from $3,500 a year for up to 1,000 devices, so one person pays nothing but a business pays a floor of $3,500. - **Free plan and trial: A.** Home Updater is free with no stated cap, and the enterprise product has a 30-day full trial. - **Features: C.** A catalog of 4,002 products, packaging, macOS deployment and custom apps. The gaps: it needs Configuration Manager or Intune, and the free Home Updater is Windows only. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating is on record. The home tool is simple, but the enterprise product needs existing management software and a quote. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Windows and Mac targets, with WSUS, Intune and Configuration Manager listed. It is a computer program with no phone or web side. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Patch My PC's own pages on 13 November 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $3.50 a year. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
