Follett IT Asset Manager is Follett Software’s K-12 platform, launched in January 2026, that unifies asset management and help desk ticketing with two-way MDM integrations and AI features. It’s a good product — this is an honest look at how the two differ, so you can pick the right tool for your district.
| Edventory | Follett IT Asset Manager | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat published tiers from free to $4,500/yr | Contact Follett for pricing |
| MDM integration | Google Workspace device sync (including deprovisioning), Jamf and Mosyle connectors, file import, and custom connectors on request | Two-way integrations with Jamf, Intune, Mosyle, and Google MDM |

| Beyond devices and tickets | Facilities and events, visitor check-in, staff leave, PD, license renewals, and security awareness included | Asset management, help desk, parts, and MDM control |
| Best fit | Small teams that want a flat price and a budget forecast | Districts that want a large vendor and two-way MDM control from the ticketing tool |
You want two-way MDM management (Jamf, Intune, Mosyle, Google) from inside the asset and ticketing tool, and a large vendor behind it.
You want the inventory, help desk, loaners, facilities, and a board-ready budget forecast at a flat published price, and a free start without a sales call.
Follett does not publish IT Asset Manager pricing; contact them for a quote. Edventory publishes flat tiers: free up to 100 devices and 100 students, then $750, $1,500, or $4,500 a year.
No. Edventory reads device data from Google Workspace, Jamf, and Mosyle to keep the inventory current, and can deprovision Chromebooks through Google. Policy management stays in your MDM.
Yes. Follett Software launched it on January 8, 2026. Edventory is also a young product, built by a working technology director, so ask both vendors for references in districts like yours.
