What changes your price
Four things that move the number.
Number of users & devices
Managed IT is usually priced per user, per month. More users means a higher total, but often a lower per-user rate.
Service level
Reactive helpdesk costs less than proactive, security-led management. The gap shows up as fewer incidents and less downtime.
Add-ons
Cybersecurity, backup, Microsoft 365 management and compliance each add value — and a small per-user cost.
Sites & complexity
Multiple locations, servers, legacy systems and out-of-hours cover all influence the final figure.

Is managed IT cheaper than hiring in-house IT?
