Managed IT Pricing

What does managed IT cost per month?
Managed IT is a fixed monthly management fee per user, while you pay for Microsoft 365 and security subscriptions directly under your ownership. Most professional managed IT management fees fall between $125 and $325 per user per month, depending on environment complexity and how much security and continuity governance you want.

You own the tools. We manage the outcomes.
You keep direct ownership of Microsoft 365 and your security licenses. We run the management system behind them: support, maintenance, standards, security administration, documentation, and planning.

What you get in every tier
All tiers include remote help desk during our posted support hours, plus ongoing documentation and vendor coordination when needed. Higher tiers add proactive maintenance, stronger Microsoft 365 and security management, and backup/recovery work that includes restore testing and a documented recovery plan.
