Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a managed service provider (MSP) cost per month?+
MSP pricing varies by service tier and pricing model. Per-device pricing ranges from $25/device/month for basic monitoring to $150/device/month for fully managed services. Per-user pricing ranges from $35 to $175/user/month. Servers typically carry a $50/month premium over workstations due to higher SLA requirements.
What is the difference between per-device and per-user MSP pricing?+
Per-device pricing charges a flat rate for each managed endpoint (workstation, laptop, or server). Per-user pricing charges per person regardless of how many devices they use. Per-user is simpler for BYOD environments; per-device gives more granular cost control when device counts vary significantly between employees.
What is included in a standard MSP plan?+
A standard MSP plan typically includes remote monitoring, patch management, helpdesk support, backup and disaster recovery, and vendor management. It builds on basic monitoring by adding reactive support and data protection — the most popular tier for mid-market businesses.
How do I choose between basic, standard, and premium MSP tiers?+
Choose basic if you only need monitoring and patching with an existing IT team. Choose standard if you need helpdesk, backup, and vendor management as your primary IT support. Choose premium if you want a fully managed IT department including vCIO advisory, security stack (EDR, SIEM), and compliance reporting.
Do MSPs charge extra for servers?+
Yes — most MSPs charge a server premium of $50–$100/month per server on top of the per-device rate. Servers require higher availability SLAs, more complex monitoring, and specialized patching windows, which drives the additional cost.
