Castum is a mobile device management platform built for Android only. Enroll devices, push your apps and updates, apply configuration, and lock devices into kiosk mode, all from one console.
Priced for fleets that do not need an enterprise mobility suite: $1.25 per device per month.
Most Android deployments need the same few things done reliably: get devices enrolled, get the right app on them, keep them locked to it, and update them without a site visit.
Bring Android devices under management and organize them into groups so each location or customer gets the right configuration.
Install your kiosk or payment application and push new versions remotely instead of touching each device.
Keep a device dedicated to your app so customers cannot leave it, which is the point of an unattended kiosk.
Set device and app configuration centrally, and change it for a whole group at once.
See the fleet in one place at dash.castum.co, with a side navigation built around the tasks above.
Paying.co builds the kiosk and payment apps that run on these devices, so Castum is shaped by real unattended deployments.
Platforms such as Esper cover a wide range of device fleets. If your fleet is Android kiosks and payment devices running your own apps, you may not need that breadth. Castum is the narrower, cheaper option. Here is how to tell which side you are on.
Pay annually for the lowest rate, or monthly for flexibility. Devices are sold in batches of five. For example, 100 devices on an annual plan is 20 batches at $125 per month.
If a subscription lapses, new enrollments and updates are blocked. Devices already in the field are not affected.
Castum is the device management layer we use when we deploy Android applications for clients. See unattended payment systems, how unattended payment systems work, HoneyBee Kiosk, PAX Android terminal development, commercial Android COTS payment development, and custom Android development.
Castum is an Android-only mobile device management (MDM) platform from Paying.co. It enrolls Android devices, deploys apps and updates, applies configuration, and locks devices into kiosk mode from one web console. Paying.co builds it for its own kiosk and payment-device deployments and offers it to other teams at a low per-device price.
No. Castum manages Android devices only. That focus is deliberate and is part of why it can be priced at $1.25 to $1.50 per device per month.
Esper is a well-known Android device management platform. Castum is narrower and cheaper by design: Android only, kiosk and payment-device deployments first, and a flat per-device price. Compare current pricing and features from Esper against your own requirements. We do not publish competitor pricing, and if your deployment needs capabilities Castum does not offer, we will say so.
Castum is $1.25 per device per month when billed annually, or $1.50 per device per month when billed monthly. Devices are sold in batches of five.
Yes. Kiosk deployments are the main use case. Castum enrolls the device, installs your kiosk app, and keeps the device locked to it. Paying.co uses Castum for its own kiosk deployments.
Many payment terminals run Android, and Paying.co deploys the payment applications it builds onto them. Whether a specific terminal model can be enrolled depends on its firmware and manufacturer restrictions, so confirm the model with us before you buy.
New enrollments and updates are blocked. Devices already in the field keep running and are not affected.
The Castum console is at dash.castum.co.
Open the console to get started, or talk to us about a kiosk or payment deployment that needs the app and the device management together.
