What Do Managed IT Services Cost?

mPowered IT - Blog Post - What Do Managed IT Services Cost

The reason you don’t usually see IT Managed Services Pricing in a tidy little sum on MSP websites is that there are too many variables that go into it. The cost will depend upon what the provider includes in their Managed Services – some services are more comprehensive than others. The other major factor is the size of your business – the more computers/users that need support, the lower the per-user fee. Very generally speaking, the cost per computer/user can range from $35 to $100, depending on what is included. 

What you want to look for is the pricing structure, and whether it aligns with your business size and budget. Packaged services will generally cost less per service than they would as separate line items, but then, you could end up paying for services you don’t want or need. Very often, you’ll see that IT Managed Services pricing is structured to provide the most value to larger business. Their needs are greater so the more that is bundled in a package the better, and the overall cost per user is quite low.

So how do you find IT Managed Services pricing to fit your budget if you’re a small business with just a few computers and one server to manage? 

It’s important to find an MSP that is geared to serve small business and structures pricing accordingly. You don’t want to be the small fish in your MSP’s big pond, which can happen if you’re not considered a major client. You want your small business to be very important to your MSP, so you get the service and attention you deserve.

We consult with you from a business perspective, on what technology and services work toward your goals. And unlike many MSPs, we’ll support whatever systems you have rather than requiring you to upgrade to a specific system to use our managed services. We don’t think it should be up to any MSP to decide when you need to change technologies – that should happen when it’s the right business decision for your company.
