VERDICT
Firstbase is the single platform to equip teams and manage devices — an AppDirect company. - firstbase.com
Depends. Buy if you're a remote-heavy company around 50+ seats shipping, provisioning, and retrieving laptops globally. Small co-located teams should skip it — an MDM plus a spreadsheet covers them.
Medium. Based on ~40 public sources. Many reviews conflate firstbase.com (device lifecycle, this page) with firstbase.io (LLC formation); scores weigh both cautiously.

high
Double-check domains: is LLC formation; is devices. Wrong product, wrong reviews.
high
Refund complaints recur; users report paying hundreds with no recourse.
medium
It complements your MDM (Jamf, Mosyle); it does not replace one — budget for both.
medium
Expect negotiated per-device pricing, not self-serve checkout; verify retrieval and offboarding fees.
